WOW!!! Don't show that to my DD, she'd want me to make her one! You'll definitely wake up every morning with a smile on your face, how could you be sad with such a happy quilt?

That looks incredible. any of the colors on the front would look nice on the back.

I will just add my "WOW" to all the others

How pretty! Bright and bold, my favorite kind. Are for the backing, I found an idea I liked once and saved the pictures. A woman said when she made pillows and things, she'd use the scraps to make the backing. Just an idea.
Here's a picture.

I made the same quilt (well, mine was smaller :D ) and for the binding, I just used that fabric. It looks cool since it's the 4 different shades, so I only had, maybe 7 strips of fabric but it looked like 28 because of the changing shades. It seemed appropriate to do the same binding as the quilt

Here, this is mine (sorry, don't mean to hijack the thread!) so you can see the binding

Black binding is my favorite with rainbow colors. Not too wide just enought to frame. Use 2 1/4" strips

Very pretty, I like the brightness

Your quilt, several weeks ago on this board, got me into this. I liked it so well, I had to have one like it.
I have some questions. Your binding, exactly what is it? Small strips of each of the fabrics?
Another question I have. If I use leftover material, how am I going to quilt the front and not hit on seams in the back? What did you use for backing?
I am a quilter who cannot deal with UFOs. I work on a quilt until it is done and sometimes get really frustrated about it.

I love this quilt.

Where can I find the pattern, is it in one of her books?
