If you have enough of the coordinating fabric, an easy back design is to make one or two rows of the D9P blocks horizontally across the back. I like to place this row of blocks about 1/3 way down, not in the middle. Then you can use plain white or other solid fabric for the large 1/3 and 2/3 pieces of the remainder of the back.

I thought this also. Would give you time to find a backing you really like.

I have not ruled out the possibility of giving it to her later. Its just that she lives several hours away and I don't know when she will be back. I don't want to mail it to her because I want to see her open it up......she MIGHT be home again for Christmas, but you never know with in laws and then being pretty big and prego

You could just make the Back in long fabric Stripes lengthwise using all the Fabrics.. or just solids and maybe piece a Ladder or you could make smaller Appliques like a spotted Dog , a helmet a Firemans boot or a Ladder or Hose in each Corner..??
