[QUOTE=sandrab64;6588683]Hello from Blizzard-y Minnesota! Spent the last 2 days sewing because we are socked in here at the farm with over 10 inches of heavy wet snow and major wind and drifts. Not pleasant at all. At least we didn't lose power!

I finished my "Lovely" top and am now stuck on what backing color to order. I'm going to scallop the outer border and bind with black. I plan on FMQ lots of feathers and swirls on my DSM. I love all the colors in this quilt but which one should I pick? I can order any of the fabrics shown in the top. I keep gravitating towards the solid blue or green that has the little squares in it but wonder if it's too 'solid' which can sometimes show mistakes in FMQ more than a busier fabric. Then again I think having little (or big) flowers all over the back would be too much.

Would welcome your thoughts as to color of backing, thread color to use and FMQ suggestions!![/QUOTE


What
"Lovely" quilt :0) I too have all these fabrics. I have sent you a Private message, be sure and check your inbox.

There are some fabrics that are just so hard to cut into.
I finally have decided what pattern I will be using to make a quilt from this line. There are just some fabrics
