Thank you Brenda. This one is perfect for Kim. It is very soft, comfy and cuddly. I just use white muslin for the backing. Years ago I used to buy the pretty backs but since I was making queen sized quilts, that meant working quilt as you go and sometimes the seams didn't work like I liked so I went to plain white or off white muslin and like that a lot better. I'm the only one in my chapter to use muslin. The rest all use pretty backs and piece to fit. On rare occasion, such as my 2 mystery quilts where the pattern says how much backing to buy, I do buy it and so far haven't had to piece which is good. Looking at my new mystery quilt though I'm wondering if I'll be piecing because it is as wide as the top of my queen sized bed - fills the space side to side and from the pillow to the foot of the bed. Off to JoAnn's to look for some coordinating fabric for the new round robin exchange I got Monday night. Have a great day.
