My first scrap strip block quilt finished top...WHEW!!

This is my first scrap strip block top that I have made...Whew!! that's a lot of strips, and didn't put a dent in the bags of scraps that I have...but I think I'll donate some to the Seniors here in my community...let them have some fun...I just wanted a twin, but it kept getting bigger...Ha Ha...How would you pick a color for the backing??
Thanks for looking....

With a scrappy like that, any color backing will be perfect. Just pick a color you like. Nice quilt! Isn't it great to make something beautiful out of scraps someone would throw away?

Great looking string pieced quilt! I would do some additional string pieced blocks in one row across the back, and use any solid color fabrics you have to fill in the rest of the back.
