I just finished my quilt top using civil war era repro fabrics. I have a piece that I would like to use for the back, but don't have enough. I have spent the last few hours on the internet trying to find this fabric, with no success. If anyone knows where I might find some, please let me know. It is:
"Pockets and Housewives" by Sturbridge for Kent Avery

I'm sorry I can't help with your backing fabric but I just wanted to comment that your top is gorgeous. I would think if worse came to worse that backing would mix fine with a black, and you could piece it.

If you can't find that fabric, you could put a frame around it like you did on the top. Just a thought. Your quilt is beautiful by the way.

Good eye Karen, yes there are 113 blocks, it is 106 1/2 inches square. Thanks everyone for the compliments on my quilt top, it is the biggest one I've made. Anxious to start quilting it.

Your quilt top is gorgeous! Wish I could help with the backing fabric.

Remember that old saying, measure twice, cut once. Well that sort of applies here. I did decide to remeasure and refigure what I needed for the backing. That way I would know how much MORE I would need.........well, I have enough fabric after all..(did I tell you I hate math? haha). I figured and measured about five times before I started cutting just to be sure....wish me luck!!!
