SewBatik Backing #1

The first quilt with a wide backing has gone out of my studio!  This beautiful batik quilt was quilted with a "Pretty Paisley" pantograph by Beany Girl Quilts.  The quilter chose Signature thread in Dusty Plum which beautifully accented the purple setting strips.  For the backing she chose the spectacular Packed Daisy motif in the colour of Pecan Lavender.  You can see this entirety of this beauty at the Whitecourt & Area Pins & Pine Needles Quilt Guild Quilt Show on May 12, 2012. 

I was admiring the backing on my own bed and thinking what a great bedspread that would make.  My husband's comment was "that was the kind of quilting he would do except without the fancy pattern".  See, even our husbands can admire our seamless backings, after all, we didn't cut any fabric up only to sew it back together.
