It’s almost time to hug and kiss this baby goodbye.

| Slight pinning overkill ! |
I was going to back this quilt with the same white, spotted fabric that I used for the sashing
but … being that I’ve used the QAYG technique for this one, you end up having the fabric from the front showing in the seams at the back.
I could see these seams through the proposed white fabric backing. So I had to go fabric shopping for an alternative – what a shame (ahem).
Fabric picked for the backing is a little buy from Spotlight.
The retro-ish pattern compliments Aneela Hoey’s Posy range nicely.
All basted and ready for quilting in the ditch.
I must say that this Quilt As You Go technique has been fun to use so far. I’ll see how I go with sewing all three layers together using my little Brother.
...the little sewing
machine that could!
Hope you're making some good progress on your projects?

I love having excuses to shop for fabric! Looking forward to seeing how this turns out.
ReplyDeleteIt's so tough when you just -have- to shop for new fabric!! Great choice though. The quilt is looking lovely!
ReplyDeleteIt looks lovely and I can't wait to see it finished!
ReplyDeleteIt is a beautiful quilt!! I envy how well you do on a little machine...congrats to you!!
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried QAYG yet. I'm also surprised to see using regular pins. I always see and use the safety pins :-) And I like you color scheme. Nice.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blocks! The QAYG technique is gaining popularity it seems, I'm going to have to try some more of it myself.
