If I were quilting in the ditch with white thread I would use a light backing.

Thanks, this is what I decided. The light lavender with white dots that I bought yesterday should work well.

That would look good! Do you have any of the other colors left over? If so put those in there too!

I agree....use up the left overs..................

No opinion on the backing but wanted to say that the purple border you chose is outstanding! I notice that it's a fabric you also have in your quilt. It is clean and simple and sets off the colors in the quilt and the white so beautifully.

Lovely quilt!

Thank you! Your kind words are really appreciated. I am getting ready to sandwich this quilt, and you have given me the inspiration I need to get with it. :)

Personally, I like the dark purple for the backing. Your quilt is beautiful.

Ditto what she said. Love that purple check border. I am a purple gal though.

Just put a dark purple on the back of one quilt. Worked great.
