Using Scraps

using scraps to add borders to remaining
pieces of the Blackbird Village panels
September 2018
It didn't take long to whip by the backings for the two Quilts of Valor, so I focused on preparing a back for Blackbird Village, another quilt top finished in June.

Two pieces of the original panel were not used on the front of the quilt, so I framed them with scraps to use on the backing.

This strip made from remaining panel pieces and scraps was created to add length to the backing fabric.

    The panel pieces are a great addition to the backing. I like seeing a surprise on the back. Can't wait to see it finished.

    I haven't tried it myself, but I love when there's a little secret on the back!

    How wonderful-this quilt is stunning so it needs to move to the quilting stage to near completion! I love an interesting back even though I don't always take the time to make one!
