I like to use my leftover(s) blocks on the back of my quilts for added interest.
I tackled the pile of tops today. These were small lap quilts and pretty straight forward.
I didn't want to waste any of the bridges and lighthouse blocks I collected on the Shop Hop.
I put my least favorite blocks on the back so they could still be included.
I used a few strips of leftover fabric to separate the blocks and sewed them together.
After trimming, I cut the backing apart to add the blocks.And added the 'new' adjusted strip back into the place for the souped up backing!
Now it goes from, "ehh" to "yeah!"
I thought that was such a strange concept the first time I saw it, but now I'm a big fan, too! Those quilts certainly are lovely.
ReplyDeleteVery very nice backs. Quilting looks so lovely
ReplyDeleteI love pieced backs. They make a quilt a work of art.
