I make two-sided quilts--always have and always will. Now, I have a 100 x 100 quilt (all half square triangles using batiks and neutrals) and need a back. Of course, it has to use a block…any block..any LARGE block. Any ideas?

There is a pattern called "Giant Vintage Star" posted for free by Jeni Baker. It is only 16 squares, 12 of which are half square triangles. Her tutorial shows it in 2 colors, 4 colors and 8 colors. http://www.incolororder.com/2011/08/...-tutorial.html I think her blocks are around 17 inches square but resizing should be easy. She uses vintage sheets, hence the name.

I used large rectangles on the back of the quilt in my avatar that was slightly smaller than your quilt. I cut about 15"x30 and used up a bunch of 1/2 yard pieces from my stash. I love how it came out.

How about the big Labarynth Star for the back?

Just enlarged the Yellow brick road for the back of one of my Bargello quilts.

Quilter's Cache has some very large block patterns. Scroll down & you will see sizes 24" & larger.

Thanks for the inspiration! I just made a super quick baby quilt top using 9" squares following the Giant Vintage Star tutorial. Will post in the pictures section.

I am trying to sew mostly from my stash so I have been piecing my backs instead of buying them. Look up quilt backs on Pinterest or modern quilts. I like to make my own version of modern quilts to piece my backs.

Carpenter's wheel always looks good big.
