This may seem odd, but you asked ... and I shared what came to mind!

You see, I don't like "plain" backings, rather something of interest. Thus why I made my suggestion as there was clearly enough fabric there to work for both the front and back ... with some planning!

This was what I was thinking about doing too. It would be for you that's for sure. Good luck on your choice.

Aquarius fabric!!
And, not only that, but he said, "I don't know how much yardage goes into a big quilt, but I got you 8 yards. Hope that's enough."
So... what would you make with it??

I love it since I'm an aquarius. I think I'd fussy cut it for blocks and use coordinatimg colors for blocks made with stars in between. With all that material you can make e nice size quilt and even pillows. Where did he find it.
