My one monthly goal is to get this backing done. So far I've pieced
together all the leftover half-kite pieces that didn't work on the front. These are just the square portion of the square and pinwheels block. These mini-blocks were harder to square than the full-size block, which surprised me. I assembled them pretty quickly - I bet it took longer to lay them out than sew them together. Piecing together the crumb block convinced me I do not want to make this pattern with crumbs. There were way too many seams and bulk.
There were more pieces than I thought I had. I sewed together three whole columns. They just about reach to the top and bottom of the quilt. Now I just want to add a couple of big pieces. I have cream, gold and a very dark grey. The cream seemed washed out. I thought I'd like the dark grey the best, but I'm now considering the gold.
What do you think?

What a fabulous backing for your quilt, Sally! I rather love the dark grey dancing with your gorgeous mini blocks. =)
ReplyDeleteI like the gold! Whatever you choose, the backing with its leftover blocks will be a fun surprise!
ReplyDeleteI think it is nice in a fun way. The patterns remind me of a favorite upholstery fabric I have a remnant of.
