Finally figured out what to do with the backing...Cat in the Hat meet the CG
[ATTACH=CONFIG]436052[/ATTACH]I am in my no buy mode still...I have spent less than 40 dollars this year on fabric. I find it does makes me more creative and think out of the box. I made a Dr. Seuss tumbler top and its been unfinished for months. I just could not decide what I wanted to use for the backing. Then yesterday morning it hit me...I have some left over panels from another projects and also a large quilt top that I was just not thrilled about. it was 12 inch blocks sewn together...Coast Guard fabric, lighhouse and boats. I decided to cut off a few rows for my border and also use the left over ten inch blocks for the backing to applique Dr Seuss prints - so here is my Cat in the Hat meets the Coast Guard Quilt.

I was just looking at the picture...it does not do a good job showing the fabric. the blocks look black but are dark blue with light blue lighthouses. the borders are stars - its looks alot nicer in person. I even used black roses for the very last border. My granddaughter was here yesterday so I did not want to use the 505 spray around her. So today....I will sandwich it and quilt.
