Show off you backside! Quilt backs that is! :)

I was piecing a back for a quilt I am making for my BF's son and future wife for their wedding. I got to like it so much that it has now become it's own quilt! I have to sandwich and quilt them both very soon-wedding is in Nov.
Sorry-it's the sideways picture. I'll see if I can find a better one!

It was supposed to be the back!

Maybe this is better. It's still missing the final border in these pics. The brown border you see is actually the original quilt underneath this back.

I have done a couple like that but I buy 108" wide fabric on sale or muslin. It is more cost effective for my budget. I want to use the good LQS fabric for the front. I can make more quilts this way. Love the idea!!

I started buying sheets and duvet covers on sale to cut for backs. I also used a white duvet cover that my daughter no longer wanted to make her my favorite quilt. If you have an Ikea store near you I bought twin sheets there too. I read where some quilters look for vintage sheets for their backs.
