I pinned it at the top of the quilt, then smoothed it down on the design wall. And yes, it's kinda heavy.

It's fantastic!

My decision on the beautiful quilt would depend on use. Misty mum I would use a dark colour because I have no way to stop Fudge or Freya off a quilt. They love them especially with poly wadding.

Your quilt is gorgeous! I've used batik+batik and batik+fabric and can say I've never noticed any difference when quilting(I hire Gammill at LQS).

wow, beautiful choice of colors

That's beautiful, i love the movement. I would opt for a solid back so it doesn't take away from the front. All eyes on the front !!!

This is amazing! I would keep with a batik on the back. It would compliment all the hard work you have done on the front!

Love your quilt. For my own quilts I often use muslin for backing because it is less expensive and I don't mind. If it is for someone else I would definitely use a batik since the top is batik.

Great quilt.

OMG! I love your quilt - both the colors and the design. As I look at all the different sizes of the pieces, I could never do anything like that.
