The single girl is no longer lonely
Its finally done! Well, the top anyway. Getting this top done was on my life for this months challenge. My single girl is not lonely any more! I pushed hard over the weekend and spent time with her making her feel loved.
It was pretty windy out and taking a good picture was really hard to accomplish.
This is a queen size and the largest quilt that I've made so far. I used Kona Chocolate for the background and Kate Spains Central Park for the rings.
So here's my question to you...what do I use for backing? Should I go with a solid back or try and find some Central Park? Other suggestions? Help me...

Ooohhh! I love it! It turned out beautiful! I'm all about using my stash right now, so I would try and find some coordinating stash to piece for the back.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you got her all tarted up ready to find a mate. As she's nice and bright up front, maybe she needs a plain backing mate to really show off her assets, although you could give him a little strip of bright here and there to show that they're really the perfect match... (oh dear, I really need to get out more!)
ReplyDeleteLooks good! I'm with Katy a lot of solid with some scrapping piecing would be the way to go for me too,
ReplyDeleteLove it! It looks amazing -- great job pushing through and getting it done. I totally agree with Becky on using stash -- do you have anything that might coordinate?
ReplyDeleteAnd here I was going to say find some CP for the back. Even some lighter color blocks would look nice with a pieced CP strip....at any rate, great accomplishment!!
ReplyDeleteI may be with Debbie on this....but CP with a solid would be awesome too. Regardless, congrats on the finish! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat quilt. I could only manage one single block! I'm sure whatever you pick will look fantastic, but I'm leaning towards the crowd, a light solid even Kona snow or Kona Bone or even one of those cross weaves and then add your left over Central park and the dark chocolate,
ReplyDeleteOooh, I have some of the purple/pink colorways of CP if you are interested... swap perhaps?
