Well my mother did the quilting of it on her long arm but I watched. I got that backing fabric from someone who thought it was "ugly" fabric but I knew it would make this quilt pop. I am so glad you like it Lauri I was so back and forth about what to do. I love using solid colors with a bright colors. Thanks everyone I also love the quilt she made for me. It was wonderful to put over me last night when my hubby was hogging all the covers.
