I...I'm overwhelmed at all your gorgeous quilts! I have one idea for baking. Have you hard of the Quilted Twins blog. It is fabulous. One twin makes quilts, the other runs a fabric store. The prices for fabric is $4.99/yd. They have a big collection of wide backed fabric at $7.95/yd. Shopping is always $5.00 no master how much you buy. Their fabric collection is different from most stores, they have lots of cool fabrics that army available anymore. Heres the link they sent me foot the newest backing fabric. https://quiltedtwins.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=122cff5c0f8ae787ef8f2a77a&id=1d79a7aaa5&e=e68d855794<br />It is much easier to do this on a laptop out desktop computer. Even though I know my way around their site on my desktop, I can't find things on my phone! Anyway, hope this helps!Quilting Nonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16964800066332039021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3697842410896958739.post-60648291938219772592018-04-12T20:33:09.890-05:002018-04-12T20:33:09.890-05:00Amazing!

So much color, and variety, and creativity. I hope it's OK for you to buy some yardage for backings, otherwise it sounds you'll be piecing little itty bitty bits together for that.

What I've been doing lately is buying backings when there is a really good sale. Most of the quilts I make are either full or queen. Sometimes they work out and sometimes they don't, but when they do, it has been a real life saver and $$ saver. I've done the same with batting. As far as the quilting goes, hand quilting always looks much better to me. But sometimes, a quilt just has to be finished.mangozzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05161843244215941676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3697842410896958739.post-21872165323732581882018-04-11T15:57:17.288-05:002018-04-11T15:57:17.288-05:00Congratulations on getting all those gorgeous quil...Congratulations on getting all those gorgeous quilts to this stage.

Hand quilting will always be preferable, especially for those tops I absolutely love. I finally broke down and bought a few backings when the wide fabric was on sale, though I'm finding the fabrics more coarse than I prefer.Quilting Babciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16225825007525655805noreply@blogger.com
