You can always add a second, decorative backing if you bon't like all the seams on the back and just ditch quilt round the blocks or tie to hold it. I've done this with my own cut strips but keep looking at jelly rolls thinkin - got to get some of those, bet I could make a quilt in an afternoon!

I thought not Pittsburgh PA....no H at the end lol. I am somewhat familiar with East Bay. I have a cousin who lives in Pacifica. She has friends in East Bay and we visit sometimes when i am there.
