Pieced Backing

As I never really plan my quilts, it's seldom that I have enough fabric in my stash for the backing. 
Usually I order a matching fabric. For my Liberty Four Patch top I had found in my stash an old floral fabric from Lucien, but so disappointed that it was only one yard. As I thought it was perfectly matching, I decided to use it and to complete with leftover squares from the top and to add a piece of lilac fabric. I must say that I enjoyed doing this for the first time. I am very pleased with the result and happy for the saving money on another fabric order! 

My lilac starts flowering and my quilting mood is lilac tone!

    That is a beautiful backing! I think pieced backings are fun and interesting, and good for you using what you already had! Thanks for sharing the beautiful flowers too!

    Tu as raison ! Il n'y a rien de plus joli qu'un tissu de dos formé de plusieurs autres tissus !! Et là, grâce à tes choix, nous sommes en plein Printemps !!
    Bravo Christine !!
    Bonne fin d'après-midi et grosses bises

    c'est beaucoup plus beau et original qu'un dos uniforme... si un coup de vent retrousse le quilt!

    It is perfect. I love pieced backs. Both sides of the quilt will have your touch.

    This is MUCH more interesting than using all one fabric - I personally LOVE pieced backs! So pretty!

    The flowered lilac fabric goes so well in this backing, and I can almost catch the scent from your lilac!

    J'aime faire des quilts recto-verso et j'aime beaucoup ta composition. Tu vas y prendre goût! Il me reste aussi quelques morceaux du tissu avec les fraises. Il a plus de vingt ans! La neige il y a deux semaines et maintenant le lilas, c'est extraordinaire. Tu m'envoies un peu de parfum des lilas, s'il te plaît :-) Belle journée

    I love pieced backings--and since many quilts need them anyway due to size, you might as well make it fun. Yours is lovely!

    Pieced backings are so much work, but they are so much fun in the finished quilt. Love how yours turned out.
