So I came to a determination yesterday that although I could see how a project could work with solids and the wild circle print, I don't know yet how this project is going to work so I'm going to chicken out and use more standard prints on the top. I'm going to use the pink circle fabric for my back and to select my colors. I'm not going to use a lot of solid fabric, but I'll make a vertical stack of bars from the pink/purple solids I pulled to extend the back so I have plenty of room for quilting down. I'll also cut strips of the solids at the same time and make a pieced binding while I have some time before the actual project begins. Starting with a back is not my usual method of quilt construction but we have some time before the project fully begins.
Right now I'm trying to get another quilt quilted before the start of this project. Am hoping to get that quilting down today and tomorrow and be able to switch back to the standard piecing foot and tensions and such. I still need to make the binding for that top and put it on, then the goal is to finish the hand part of the binding and have it mailed before Thanksgiving.
I was able to quilt down both my Frolic and Grassy Creek tops, they were on my to-do list before starting with this project!
