back for Reunion @ midnight

wip . . . backing for Reunion @ Midnight.

I get so much satisfaction when I can take the scraps from the top of a quilt, and use them on the back.









I had some nice shaped scraps from the Reunion @ Midnight top.  Easy to randomly put together.




 Backs are fun to come up with.  You can basically do just about anything . . . no pattern is right or wrong.

Piecing can sometimes be a bit of a challenge especially when there aren't any instructions.









READY TO QUILT !!!

    Great backing! I more often than not settle for something simple in my eagerness to get the quilt 'done'!

    Oh, that reminds me of MY unfinished Reunion Quilt Top. Duh.
    But your backing looks truely great. I love using leftovers from the top for the backing as well. Thanks for sharing your process of making the backing, I often stick to easy backings (to avoid the maths...) :o)
    Great job!
