quilt
So, that quilt top I pieced last year? Time to quilt it!
My self-imposed deadline for starting the quilting - and by that I mean putting an actual stitch in - is next Wednesday. I am currently debating backing fabrics. This stripe is what I bought originally:
But now I think it's way too dark and, even though the colors are sort-of the same as my prints, it does not feel bright and Springy like the top. I don't want to drive myself nuts finding another contrasting/coordinating print, so I might go with a solid instead. I don't know! Right now the only benefit of the stripe is I already own it. Plus I am so tired of solid plain quilt backs.
I plan to machine quilt it, probably just echo lines. I need to spend some time staring at it and also check the book to see what they did before I really decide.
