Backing too small?
2 Attachment(s)
As I use often fleece as backing for my quilts i have the problem that it is a little bit too small! And here I want to show what I am doing to make the backing wider so that it will fit to the quilt top! I use scraps from the quilt to make stripes and sew them between the fleece fabric!

Great idea. I've done that with quilters cotton but never thought to mix fabrics and use it for minkie which I have several scraps of. Duh...thanks for the reminder and tip.

Very creative. I have been using a no pill plush fleece for my most recent quilt backs. I recently donated one of them to our church bazaar/sale and it was a small lap quilt which brought $250 dollars and the bidders wanted it because it had a soft backing. I'm on my second T-shirt quilt now and will also use fleece backing. The grads love it as it is soft and cuddly; whereas, sometimes a quilt is not so soft as too much quilting can make them stiff. Need to watch for sales as good fleece can be spendy. I also FMQ my own quilts on my domestic and it is so much easier quilting with only having a top and fleece back, no batting in between. The weight of the finished quilt is equal to one having batting inside. Works great for me

Thanks for posting! That's a clever way to make the back just a little bit bigger.
