I love your work.
    I started with a 2inch strip in the centre and added whatever I had in various widths. The black are the strips joining the blocks in a quilt as you go. Here is a photo of the back using different fabrics that had been hoarded.

    I don't have the site to hand but it was on a blog for Michelle's Patterns. I like to handstitch the strips down on the back. I am now doing an I Spy using the same method.

    What is Michelle's blog called or do you have her last name. The back of your quilt is so beautiful also.
