I know. Backings are boring. But I like having the decisions about them all done so I don't have them taking up space in my head. William James said "Nothing is so fatiguing as the eternal hanging on of an uncompleted task."
I went shopping at Quilted Threads on Saturday. If felt so nice to get out and shop at my favorite quilt shop. I bought a variety of WOW fabrics and a few yards of this fabric.
It's an unconventional choice, but I selected it for the back of the Yellow Ribbons quilt. It might even use it as the binding, but I'll have to see after it is quilted.
I picked this fabric for the back of Aquamarine.
I liked the yellow/green and the blue and I thought it looked good with this quilt that, while predominantly blue, has a lot of green in it.
Both are great backings! I have always loved that quote.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful backings, certainly not boring!
ReplyDeleteBoth of those backings are anything but boring. I especially covet the floral one and may have to track it down.

I love your backing choices especially the large floral. I tried doing a google photo search for it and did not find it. Which company is it from? I think it would make great throw pillows for my house for next summer.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the James quote! I will add it to my other UFO gem: "Out of the strain of the doing into the peace of the done."
ReplyDeleteBusy prints are great for quilt backs.
