    Lovely quilt but I would not use the other quilt for backing. The quilt is to beautiful to use your other quilt.

    You have two beautiful quilt "tops" . Just my opinion each should have a backing that is more reflective of the style/colors used. It is your quilt so if you like it thats all that matters.

    I generally find trip around the world kind of boring, but I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE yours. Maybe I need to rethink my need to do one. Yours is so "out of the box" with all the different colors you used. The way you oulined it is very striking. I like the back too, but like most on this post would not use it for the back on this quilt. Maybe just a solid fabric for the back in a complementary green.

    We should all think out of the box sometimes. Great job.

    Your Trip Around the World quilt is gorgeous! You would never know it was all from scraps. Nice colors together. I would use the "back" as another top or the back for a different quilt. It is very pretty, but I don't think it goes with your Trip Around the World top.

    Love your quilt! Are those prairie points on the border? I agree with some others that the backing you're putting together is pretty on it's own as a quilt top, but not for backing this quilt.
