This one, however, I just really wanted a matching all one solid fabric backing as I want to do something special with the quilting (I am hoping to send this one to Charisma--she did a few for me last year and they as well as all of her work are so wonderful). This will be for my purple batik Big Star Little Star so I am really excited. Thanks.
Thank you! There was something about that quilt when it was done ... just had a beautiful squishy cuddly feel to it, more so than many others. Guess it was just the right balance of quilting for the type of batting and fabrics used.
Now you have me wanting to see your Stars quilt top! puhleeeeeeeeeease?
I know what you mean ... as I said, not every quilt wants a pieced backing. One fabric is nice when you want to showcase the quilting, and ultimately, you have a 2nd quilt ... a whole cloth!
Now that's a win-win!
