It is funny though, because I also got some UFO quilts from my Mom that she was working on during that time frame, and they also came with white backing. I know my mom used white or muslin for the quilts she made. I don't think she ever considered using a print. Don't know if that was common, or just my Mom.
Might have been common back then, IDK? I do know that both girls would prefer something different than the white. I thought about using it for sashing on a couple of them, since they will be smaller.
The one that I have started is really cute so far. I've got only 6 blocks done, because mom cut the pieces by hand, so some of the bocks end up wonky and I have to pick out the seams and fix them. But I'm getting there. I'm determined to finish it before baby Zoe shows up. LOL I know that Y seams are not my favorite, and thank goodness for Utube, or I would still be struggling with those.
