How should I bind it and what to use for backing? This is a Karen combs pattern, 80 x 80. I just had to make it, now that I did, I don't know what to do with it. As for backing, I have a lot of fabric left over and would like to make a scrappy back, maybe. How would I do that? I am not in the mood for small pieces right now. Any suggestions?

WOW :shock: that is fabulous :-D i love it!!!
that seems like it would be confusing to put together. maybe black on the other side for when you go to sleep.LOL those colors would otherwise keep you awake.

You could just cut 10.5 inch squares out of your leftover fabric and sew them together, either matching points or not. That would use up a lot of fabric but not take much time. The top is beautiful. I think I would use the dark green to bind it.

I really love it. I am making by bargello quilt top,and decided I had enough fabric left to make another quilt to put on the back. I downloaded hanky,panky quilt pattern from the internet,and am now making it to put on the back, will post when I have it done. It will be my first complete reversable quilt. I alway sew together what ever material , I have left from the front, for the back, I and my quilt club love patchwork backs.
