Here are a couple of my most recent backs. I love interesting backs. These two were mostly just scrapes from the tops and I was really sweating it trying to get enough to make backs for these two.
This is the back of the quilt in my avatar [ATTACH=CONFIG]9721[/ATTACH] Back of my "BQ" quilt [ATTACH=CONFIG]45336[/ATTACH] |

This is the only pieced back that I have done.
Some of the backs that were posted look like they should be the front!! |
The only thing about piecing backs I don't like is that once the front is done, I'm always anxious to get it assembled. But it's a nice change from the plain backs. Plus I can use up some of my stash and make room for something different. One fabric I bought 8yds of, I still have 3 yds left...I like the fabric, but do get sick of seeing it in multiple projects!

wow, all these backs are awesome. I normally just use fleece or flannel, but I'm gonna try piecing a bunch together, to be different

They are all scrumpcious (sp). Gives us some new ideas. I think it would be great to do a larger version of the block from the front.
I WAS going to use the term backsides when I started this post, but did not want to get my little hand slapped. ha ha. keep them coming. I like seeing your creativity. |
I love all these pieced backs... I love doing this too. Usually use the leftovers from the front.
