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.
