Thank you for all your lovely compliments. To answer the questions, the backing fabric is a tonal off white and it is a QAYG quilt. My teacher likes that method for beginners because you don’t get bored by doing all the quilting at the end. My teacher had suggested a fabric to frame it and then a pieced border but I was overwhelmed by choices and don’t have a class for a while so that’s why I came asking for help.
