This quilt top is next in line for basting to prepare for ditch quilting. I needed to find a batik for backing yesterday. It is 37 x 58" so I need almost 1 3/4 yards of fabric.
The first place I look is the 2 shelves of multicolor and large design batiks. Most of them are hard to use because the color changes so often in them.
When I first look through the stacks I'm looking for larger yardage pieces and pull them out. The one one the left is more blue, not green as it looks here.
I think I used the one in the center for a backing of another wall hanging, maybe a colorwash.
Since the Crooked Cobblestone wall hanging top has a lot of orange and green I think the one on the right is the best choice.
Today I need to cut a piece of batting for it and prepare it for basting. If it's a good day, maybe I'll even get some basting done.
