I feel all my quilts are gifts to someone special so I try to use a nice backing no matter who it may be. True, the price of fabrics are going up so when I see a sale on backings I try to pick some up that I think might work on a quilt I'm doing. Of course I've got a quantity of backings right now so haven't bought any fabrics since Nove 2018 except a couple fat qtrs I needed to enlarge a border someone decided they wanted a larger size. Luckily I was able to find this fabric as I bought the kit years before. I rarely buy kits but this time I did for the colors she chose..........not my colors so didn't have many in my stash.
Also, have lost my sewing mojo for the past 18 months so everything just sits looking stupidly at me wondering when I'll get off my duff and get busy again.
