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!
