Backings
HEARTS
I'm always on the lookout for clearance fabric sales mostly for yardage for backings for my completed quilt tops. It is rare that I spend more than $5.00 a yard for backing fabric yardage. I'm not saying that I haven't spent more but as a rule of thumb I try to keep cost down when choosing yardage for backing fabrics.
The search for backing fabrics is made a bit more difficult by the added rule of keeping cost down and my need to stick with the theme of the quilt top, but I love the challenge!
This backing fabric is, by Rifle Paper Co. for Cotton + Steel, Alice in Wonderland in Navy. $11.74 a yard.
This quilt, HEARTS, is a special quilt so it was worth it to me to purchase a more expensive fabric for the backing. I have loved this fabric collection from the moment that I saw it. When I choosing the backing fabric for this quilt I knew it would be from this collection. This quilt was pieced during the COVID 19 Pandemic. I began this quilt projects just days before the world wide Pandemic shut down our world.
