Backing for Morning Garden Quilt

 

There are several Charley Harper prints in the Morning Garden Quilt, so I decided this one with frogs and butterflies would be the centerpiece of the pieced backing I will make for the quilt.

I used the leftover blocks on the backing too!

This is the finished backing for the Morning Garden quilt.

I always place the flimsy on top of the backing so I can ensure the backing is at least six inches bigger than the quilt top all the way around.

This one is ready to go!

I know you don't really enjoy making the backs of your quilts, but this one is a beauty!

Fabulous as always. What happens to the extra bits of the backing when you trim the finished quilt? Do they go into a scrap bin somewhere ? And get reused eventually? I have always quilted on my domestic machine so have gotten away with very narrow margins for my backing. Mine are often too small to really be of any use!
