Here is the back of the quilt pieced.
I have everything pieced, basted and quilted. (I know I jumped ahead of the quilt-along schedule, but I just couldn't make myself stop) I decided to go with horizontal lines all the way through. I had originally thought about vertical lines, but everyone seemed to think horizontal was the way to go. Now that it's done, I completely agree.
I also decided to go with a bold solid as my binding. Several people suggested white as the binding color, but I just didn't like the finished look when I was playing with some scraps of white strips. The bright red really gives a bold statement and gives a nice finish, especially to the back of the quilt.
I'm currently working on hand-stitching down the binding on the front, which should be done in the next day or so.
I can't wait to show off the finished quilt!
this is such a super cute quilt. Can't wait to see it either!

I love the way you have used pattern and colour with this quilt (great fabric choices). It is so bright, so fun, so modern.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful from all angles. I love how the front and back are different but they go together so nicely. I also think that the binding fabric you chose was a great choice. Can't wait to see a fully finished picture!
ReplyDeleteLove that you chose red for the binding and look forward to seeing it finished!
ReplyDeleteI like this very much!
ReplyDeleteThe way you have sewn your quiltback, I have made several table toppers that way.
It´s a funny way to show all the fantastic fabrics that you have bought;-)
I know the feeling when you say you couldn't stop working on the quilt! I think you picked a terrific binding color too!
ReplyDeleteWell, I for one can't wait to see it! Love these fabrics and it looks like it's fabulous on both sides:)
ReplyDeleteChecking in from Needle and Thread Thursday! Love the red binding - so striking, and its definitely a two tops quilt - the back as as fantastic as the front.
ReplyDeleteLooks great! I love the back as much as the front and the red binding is really lovely.
