    Default My first scrap strip block quilt finished top...WHEW!!

    This is my first scrap strip block top that I have made...Whew!! that's a lot of strips, and didn't put a dent in the bags of scraps that I have...but I think I'll donate some to the Seniors here in my community...let them have some fun...I just wanted a twin, but it kept getting bigger...Ha Ha...How would you pick a color for the backing??
    Thanks for looking....

    Great job. Very pretty. Any colour backing will be suitable.

    With a scrappy like that, any color backing will be perfect. Just pick a color you like. Nice quilt! Isn't it great to make something beautiful out of scraps someone would throw away?

    Great looking string pieced quilt! I would do some additional string pieced blocks in one row across the back, and use any solid color fabrics you have to fill in the rest of the back.

    Wow! Great scrappy quilt I think you could probably use just about any color for the backing.
