Focusing on some secret sewing lately, I'm pleased with my project, but haven't had much else to share. Watch #whatshadeareyou come March, and you'll see what I've been up to.
I did get the latest Seattle MQG giving quiltbound and delivered, which you might enjoy if you're into improv. And if that's the case, you might also appreciate my latest bee blocks, where I stretched my improv muscles a bit and revealed something you probably didn't know about me.
And finally, if you love the stories behind the quilts, be sure to take a few minutes at Home with Jill/Pie Lady Quilts.
ROUND-UP
Having just purchased my very first wide quilt backing is proof positive that normally you'll find me making a pieced backing. Those may range from two lengths of fabric sewn together to a much more creative design, preferably echoing the design from the quilt front in some way. No matter, there are endless ways to back a quilt, and today's round-up is but a sampling.
The Star Flare backing by Toni/HoosierToni would be a great way to use excess fabric from the quilt's front, or echo the palette. [hoosiertoni]
Next are just a few of my own quilt backs. First, a simple but stash-friendly Fat Quarter Quilt Back.
With my Junctions quilt, I discovered just how nicely two border prints can work together.
And lastly, not a solution that will tempt everyone, but why not use another unfinished quilt top as a back, creating a two-sided quilt, as I did with my Bilateral.
