Making a Christmas present for my 12 year old grandson. I've got the quilt put together, but for the life of me can't think of a "fun" backing. Spent 1 hour looking on a fabric website and couldn't find fabric that inspired me. I have at least 2 yards of the Route 66 print left, but it's not enough to completely cover the back. Any ideas? I seem to be at a loss here.

Add a border around the two yards with a solid color. Nice quilt!

I have seen map fabric which would be cute. I think I just saw some at Joann's last week.

I have seen fabric with stop signs, yield etc...maybe you can find some of that. I am sure whatever you use will be nice :)

Just wanted to say that your quilt is great. I'm sure your GS will love it no matter what you put on the back.

Great looking quilt! A very lucky boy.

ditto ... scrappy back using your route 66 fabric

Or if you want a change there is fabric that has road signs on it.

And what about a total change? How about the fabric that looks like clouds as that way you could keep the blue and white coodinating on the back. Or ocean waves.

i like the map fabric idea. and also that is a very nice quilt. a very lucky boy indeed...:thumbup:

I bought some black & white checked, looks like the checker flag at a race, can also be used as a giant checkers game. Good luck, I'm sure you'll get ideas and I think yoru quilt is great

How about vintage cars?
