Jeannie, i love your pieced backings. So very unique and beautifully done.

art in the back as the front good idea and advice thank you
|
The backs of your quilts look great Jeanne S. I really like the interest it adds. Thanks for sharing.
|
many great ideas here... I will sure consider doing something other than a plain backing on my next project.

I was pleased with this backing, I used a yard of wide quilt back and scrappy strips of 2" squares and I think it looks super.

I usually try to use up the leftovers if any from a quilt. I had two extra blocks so I put them on the back of this quilt.

Well done. This is a case of less being more. Very nice.

I almost always piece my back. I like to make the back almost as interesting as the front, but with less work. As far as getting them straight, I pin baste and when I put the back down on the table I measure many times to be sure it is straight, then measure again when I layer the top. I can generally get it within a half inch and not noticeable.
One way I find ideas is on Pinterest. Here's my quilt back idea board, but there are many more out there: https://www.pinterest.com/lesliew333/quilt-back-ideas/ |
