I had a few extra kites when I finished the front of the quilt. I wasn't sure I wanted to make another quilt with the extra pieces, so I stitched them together for the backing. Certainly a lot more complicated than a single piece of fabric. It's a pretty odd composition, but it's backing! Who cares.
Usually I stitch labels on after I'm done with the quilt, but I thought this would be fun to piece in. Dated it before it's complete - now I have to have it done by the end of the month. A week and a half would normally be plenty of time. But I've been slowed down with fever and fatigue as well as some issues with the quilting. It's progressing - I have a good chunk of time next weekend. I should be able to wrap it up by then.
Love the stained glass effect of the four kites together! A unique backing for a unique quilt!
