What backing would you recommend?

This is a baseball themed quilt I am doing for my grandson. What are your suggestions for the backing fabric? He want's something soft. Flannel?
Forgive me if I put the fabric designs together poorly. I am still a beginner. :-) [ATTACH=CONFIG]536650[/ATTACH] |
Nice quilt. Flannel is always a good choice for something warm and soft.
|
Flannel would be fine just be sure to wash and dry it because some of it shrinks a lot. Your layout is wonderful, looks great!
|
Looks great! Flannel is always nice.
|
Regular cotton or flannel. Would be nice if you found a coordinating baseball theme print, bit if not a stripe backing would be great on that quilt.
|
I'm sure you could easily find flannel that has a baseball theme if that is what you wanted to use.
|
Flannel would be great. If you can't find some themed flannel you could go with the navy blue or deep red

My grandkids love the minkee-backed quilts I gave them last year for Christmas (even the 16 year old!!) I hear that minkee is not the easiest to quilt, so I did have my LA er quilt them. They all 3 turned out great. Love your baseball quilt!

What a great looking quilt. I agree with a flannel backing but wash before cutting it. Flannel does shrink a lot more than quilting cotton. Your grandson is going to love that quilt.

Great quilt! I like the flannel idea for the back, just be sure to prewash the flannel like others have said.
