After measuring both the top and the intended back, I realized I would have to add REALLY wide borders onto the back's sides in order to make it fit -- one of my least favorite quilting tasks. So there has been a slight change in plans -- a wide backing has been ordered for the top from Connecting Threads, and what was intended to be the back is now a quilt top in its own right, and will be donated to a local charity. I'm having lunch on Friday with a couple of friends who are active in the charity, we will have some of the best barbeque in the area, and I can hand it off at that time.
Since today is Sunday, it is my designated day to work on my Postage Stamp blocks. I will also do my half hour of cutting -- still working on accumulating the 676 five inch squares I need for the backing for yet another UFO. Feels great to see that progress is being made.
