A few years ago I made a beautiful (to me, anyway) Warm Wishes throw for my son. My intention was for him to use it on his recliner. I wanted to try that Ricky Timms diagonally cut backing but it failed. To use the backing, I added extra blocks from the front in the seam between the diagonal pieces. To me, it looked pretty tacky, so I traced sillouettes of his quitars and appliqued them over the back. He loved the quilt. When I went to his house, I saw that he had it spread out over his queen-sized bed. He said that is where he wants it. I offered to enlarge it and he said that wasn't necessary.
