Quilt Backs
It’s rare that I jump out on a limb and make a scrappy back for my quilts. I dunno, just seems that I’ve spent a lot of time making a pretty quilt top … I don’t want to take the focus off of the quilted love that I’ve put together.
I’m a muslin kinda gal … most of the quilts that I make have muslin on the back – either bleached or unbleached, depending on the colors on the front of my quilts.
I also think about the fact that the back of a quilt is what touches your body, if you’re laying under it. I personally don’t want a bunch of seams against me … that’d irritate me, somewhat.
Occasionally, though, I do take the high road!
This is the quilt back for my new “Strawberry Lemonade Candy” quilt, made with Moda’s Strawberry Lemonade fabrics. Ain’t it cute?! Since this is a baby quilt, I decided that babies like color.
As a mom of four, I’ve been-there, done-that when it comes to making baby happy. As I put the back of this quilt together, my first thought was that with a great front and back … this quilt could be used twice before it has to be laundered! I know, I know … always thinking, ain’t I?!
The “Strawberry Lemonade Candy” quilt pattern is written and waiting for me to print it. Stay tuned for it’s announcement!
