    Very good job.

    If you are trying to use up scraps, a "lasagne" backing would work. Thats where you use a strip until you run out of it, then add another, all in layers like a lasagne. It is not fancy, but uses a bunch of scrap strips.

    Not sure if this was mentioned but why not do a row or 2 in some scrap yellow fabrics in the YBR pattern to break the back up a bit.

    My thought exactly! You took the words right out of my mouth! Red bedroom slippers along with it is such an excellent idea too!!

    I went to go buy the yellow brick road...Mistake...I ended up buying the flowers that they fell asleep in (and a bunch of other fabric for future quits)...and will add it as a border. I could not find the yellow bring road except in a panel so I think I will use the dog prints and the yellow pieces of brinks and use that for the binding. One the back I think I will use Muslim and applique some flowers on the back using some of the prints I have left over. Oh...and I love the idea of giving her slippers with this quilt!
