Very fun! I have pieced backs on occasion. They are fun.

Love it! Was it hard to quilt thru with so many small pieces? Was it quilted on a long arm or domestic machine?

Very cool to use what we have on hand and piece as needed!

Your backings are fantastic.

I like your quilt backs. I have no problems creating the front but the backs leave me puzzled. Thanks for all the inspiration - bookmarked so I can refer back - thanks for sharing!

Thanks. I have a longarm now and used it for that particular quilt, but I have also quilted through the pieced backs on my DSM. As long as you're not hand quilting I don't think it presents that much of a problem.

I've just started quilting, so out of the 5 that I've made, I only have 2 that I pieced the backs from the left over fabric I used from the front. It was fun to do it this way!

I love those fabrics!

It's two quilts in one. I love using the scraps from the front to make another look on the back. Both your backs are very nicely done.
