I really don't like a solid backing because it picks up any lint within a mile! :cry:
Post a photo when you have completed your quilt.
yours is so picture perfect! I hope mine can look as nice as yours i'm scared lol. Thank you for the advise... I'm planning on making this for my Irish mom for her birthday so I'm thinking yellows and oranges (yellow is her fav color) and maybe yellow for the back? we shall see :) but i'll buy it when i buy the front fabric thanks for the tip :)
