Batik quilt #2 - it's finished!

[Iminei]

That is beeeautiful Ploshie ... I would be soooo chuffed to receive that, lucky chaps .

I imagine @Lisalou1965  that Ploshies primary choices for backing fabric would have had stronger colours and a bit more contrast with the front colours, more on the turquoise side of things I imagine.

[Ploshkin]

My first choice was actually quite pale with dashes of purples and pinks.  Some of my other choices were quite dark purples.  The one I ended up with was a bit bluer than I was expecting which I didn't want as there was no blue on the front but the pinks and purples are a perfect match with some of the fabrics in the top.  As you mostly can't see the top and back at the same time I went with it and didn't let it irk me too much.  There were no turquoise in any of my choices but that was because I didn't see any fabrics with turquoise in the mixture.  I did actually consider having the whole back turquoise.

    Thats told me then!       Imi xxx

I never bother too much about the backing as it's rarely seen

@Lowena I can always hear the indomitable Sister Joseph saying ' the inside should always look as good as the outside' and I apply that to backs and fronts as well.  I had to give myself a good talking to to stick with a backing fabric that I didn't think was quite right.

' the inside should always look as good as the outside'

Oh yes, I remember the teacher in sewing class at high school saying the exact same thing....hated it when she would pounce on someones work and examine it for "tidy neat underneaths".

And your quilt is just beautiful, really lovely.

Oh, dear old Sister Jo. The Minerva McGonagall of our school    I was only thinking about that quote the other day when I was sewing in endless ends on the backs of my place-mats!

My school didn't do sewing or cooking and neither did my Mum.... So I made up my own rules
