Shelley, that quilt is pretty on it's own, but your quilting makes it STUNNING! I am VERY impressed! (And a little jealous!)

This is my first pieced back, from fabric I used on the front of the quilt.

One more.

Very nice! I piece the backs of my own quilts, but when we hand quilt for others at church we usually use muslin. I prefer more exciting backs for myself! :lol:

hereca62, your tag line is a hoot! and your backings are great. I am going to do some pieced ones, and feeling much better, now that I know, basically how they will look. :D

Thanks. On baby and lap quilts, I usually am 4 to 5 inches short on the width. I like to piece a strip from the front fabrics and insert it off center to widen the back. I was taught that putting the seam in the middle is bad, because it is stressed when the quilt is folded. I just finished a lap quilt with this kind of backing last week, but the pictures are still in the camera. I'll try to show the back here tomorrow.
Happy Quiliting!!

This is a quilt that I finished last week for a gift. He loved it.
