How it started and why it stalled This was a design as you go (aka flying by the seat of my pants). A while ago I made several scrappy spool blocks, then had to decide what to do with them and set them in the rows with a dark spacer between. Pulled out the gold as a horizontal sashing between the rows and a all around border. What next? I had the dark light HST's laying around so adjusted my gold borders to accommodate the HST's. In January 2020 it sat....I found some log cabin blocks for another border, so the gold border went on to fit the LC blocks. I like larger quilts to fit beds and this wasn't big enough so scrounged around and found the dark blue fabric that I could make wider borders from. It is 84 x 91 inches. Then it sat...

And then In early October I...What should I use for a backing? I call this a utilitarian quilt to use up fabric and didn't want to buy backing fabric or use some of my nicer pieces for the backing. I was able to piece the back with the blue and gold widened by a floral piece. After LA'ng it I figured I had enough from the backing and leftovers to make my binding. There is very little left from the 3 pieces used on the back. Lots of stash fabric used in this! Sashay pantograph from Urban Elementz was used.

Tried to eliminate the extra photos...sorry.
