Quilt Backing
With the price of fabric skyrocketing these days, I don't go shopping every time I need backing for a quilt. Last night I went through my stash and assembled various pieces to make one. When I get the Tumbler quilt top finished, this will be the backing.
It still needs to be pressed, but I'll wait until I'm ready to lay out and pin baste the quilt. I still like to buy wide quilt backing once in awhile, but I save that for large quilts.
