Or if you want to piece the back first (but NOT attached to the top, you could iron freezer paper to the entire back (paper would be in peices).

I know about the fabric markers, I have a whole can full as I use them on the parrot quilts to draw the eyes on. Doing that will also allow me to take it for show & tell on the 11th...if my sister doesn't nag me to get her quilt...lol! I'll freezer paper & tape

Strange! When I saw Berkie's "disappointing", I actually read "disappearing". Then when I read the other posts, I was wondering where they got that from, and had to go back and read the post again. Sometimes my eyes play tricks on me. I read what I thought it said because I knew the pattern.
But I really love the quilt and the borders, too.
