    Default Another scrappy backing done

    Just finished piecing a scrappy "backing" for another don't-love-it floppy that has been sitting unloved and unquilted for too many years. I'm going to do a facing with cream colored scraps, giving this the final border.

    Originally, I was just going to do another row of 9Ps for the border, but it looked a little boring. I think the pinwheels add a little zing, and I love how the pinwheels look framed- I may have to make a quilt with just those someday! (maybe my next "backing"???)

    I really, really like this scrappy. I'm generally not a "scrappy" person but I think the pinwheels border did it for me. Now my question is....how do you keep the front and the pieced back straight & lined up when you get ready to quilt it? I made a quilt once & put a back on that had a pieced strip from some left over front & the back did not come out straight after it was quilted. The front was easy since I could see it while quilting but not so for the back.

    Can we see the front of this beautiful back?

    What a fun scrappy backing...would love to have seen what the front looked like too. It will feel good to get that floppy out of your pile.
