I found the most amazing fabric that I’m going to use for backing of my millefiori quilt. Yeah, I already ordered it, even though I haven’t even finished one unit of my quilt and may never live long enough to finish the entire quilt. But just in case I do, I had to have this fabric. It’s perfect. It’s not quite wide enough for my quilt as i have it planned. So now I’ll start the search for the exact shade of solid blue at the edges so that I can border it and make it wider. Or, after I make a few of those paper-pieced units, it’s possible I will downsize my quilt.
Not much going on in these parts recently. Then why do I feel like there’s always too much to do? I think that’s because I take so long doing everything, not being able to stay on my feet very long at a time. At any rate, between everyday chores and rest periods, I haven’t got any sewing done in several days. Today I promised sister Ramey I’d accompany her to the Birmingham Museum of Art to see a quilt that she is to give a presentation on soon.
It’s raining and cold. And I think I’d much rather stay in. But we’ve been planning this for a while.

What a gloriously perfect backing fabric for this delightful quilt you've bravely embarked on making. What would have thought there would be such a great fabric out there waiting for you to find it?
Who made the fabric and what is it called?
Happy dancing for you! Hope you'll soon manage to happy dance for yourself over this miraculous fabric. :)
Hugs!

It's perfect! Isn't that the way we are? I plan my backings at the same time I plan the fronts. Whether they actually end up quilted together is just a matter of time!

I love that backing and don’t blame you one bit for buying it now. Be sure to eat lunch at the museum. I had their mushroom soup recently and it was excellent!
