Another scrappy backing done
 

Just finished piecing a scrappy "backing" for another don't-love-it floppy that has been sitting unloved and unquilted for too many years. I'm going to do a facing with cream colored scraps, giving this the final border.

Originally, I was just going to do another row of 9Ps for the border, but it looked a little boring. I think the pinwheels add a little zing, and I love how the pinwheels look framed- I may have to make a quilt with just those someday! (maybe my next "backing"???)

very nicely done

that is really imaginative. Love it!!

so is this beauty the front and the ugly floppy now the back? It's all in the quilting.....

I really, really like this scrappy. I'm generally not a "scrappy" person but I think the pinwheels border did it for me. Now my question is....how do you keep the front and the pieced back straight & lined up when you get ready to quilt it? I made a quilt once & put a back on that had a pieced strip from some left over front & the back did not come out straight after it was quilted. The front was easy since I could see it while quilting but not so for the back.

Can we see the front of this beautiful back?

I love it. It is beautiful.

That could be my front anytime. I love it. BrendaK

Very creative. Nicely done.

What a fun scrappy backing...would love to have seen what the front looked like too. It will feel good to get that floppy out of your pile.
