Has anyone made a decision on backing yet? I would love to see photos of people's backing fabrics. I've been wondering if a light printed fabric would look too cluttered with such a busy top, so have been considering looking for a purple tonal. I associate the quilt with the French countryside because of those photos of the lavender fields, so would like to find something with that French country feel.[/QUOTE]
I ordered a wide backing from Connecting Threads called Radiance. It is kind of busy, but I think it has a lot of white background. There is a little lavender and gold/yellow and a fair amount of green that will coordinate with the front. I figure it will hide my quilting pretty well. I will be quilting it myself on my Bernina 153 QE, so it will be a struggle to cram it into the throat space. I was going to try to get Allietare! quilted first, but I may do En Provence instead. Either way, it's going to be quite a production!
