Top done and backing chosen, just not quilted yet. My colors were fall choices. I think very nice as its my favorite time of the year. I appliqued some fall leaves in the border also.

    Yes, I did use batting. I tried silk, just to see how it worked, and also because it is very light weight, and the quilt top is extra heavy because of the foundation.

    Very Pretty - thanks for the hint about backing/free motion quilting.

    That came out beautiful! Love, love, love the colors! Reminds me of the fabric in one of my favorite dresses when I was in college.

    You did a great job. I like the "strings" and the back fabric is so colorful. Terrific!!
