This is a bad picture, but it allows you to see the back....piecing quilt backs....it is my least favorite park of quilting, even if it is only two large pieces of fabric. However, I do like to use the left over fabrics from the front of the quilt. I think to myself, "I paid good money for all that fabric and the front is pieced...(sometimes in very small pieces) so I will use the left over bits on the back." This helps to elevate a lot of left over scraps of the same fabric I have been sewing on for months.
These are some of the fabrics from front of the quilt. They are from
Andover Fabrics by Jo Morton, the line is called,
Jamestown. They are all dark and OH SO BEAUTIFUL!
This is one of several GREAT GREENS!
This line had GREAT GOLDS!
And a few ORANGES, orange is often difficult to find!
The REDS were so BEAUTIFUL. There were
Burgundy reds and Cherry Reds...all in one line!
My favorite part of quilting is the colors, I love finding "just the right color." My least favorite, is getting the backs ready. What is your favorite and least favorite part of quilting?

I love pieced backs too and I don't enjoy doing them but love the result. Gorgeous fabrics. My favorite part of quilting is choosing the fabrics and I do love to machine piece. My least favorite part has got to be making the backs, sleeves, and labels!
Love the idea of piecing the backs too! I had never done that until doing Camille Roskelley quilts.
My favorite part of quilting is binding. Not because I love it, but because I'm almost done and can see how beautiful it is turning out. My least favorite is binding too, because it seems to take so darn long! I also don't like to to cut the fabrics because I'm so scared I'm going to cut it wrong and ruin it!
My fave part.... picking the fabric for sure. My least favorite... I don't know yet but I think the whole binding thing is going to have me pulling my hair out.
Just dropping by to let you know I have a super give-away contest running this week (and every week) on my blog at Not Entirely British
Featured today is musician Sara Lyn Baril, from Alberta, Canada. The prize is a copy of her debut CD of sacred music - Thy Healing Hands—Songs of Comfort and Peace, produced by Greg Hansen and distributed by Sounds of Zion.
The pieced back is adorable! Such a good idea!
Favorite part of quilting is the piecing and doing a hand sewn binding.
Least favorite part: picking out colors. I did not inherit your "these colors look good together" gene.
I guess the beginning and the end...I love choosing the pattern and fabric and then sewing the last piece together to get that AWE moment. I don't mind the in between part either, it is just so fun to create a unique project.
hmmm my favourite part of quilting is the BINDING.. I dont mind it, and the whole time I am doing it I am thinking 'its nearly finished'..
I hate basting, so I dont do it.. LOL I suck at quilting, I figured if god invented Long Arm Quilting ladies I should use them.. LOL so hmmm I dont baste or quilt, so other least favourite is UNSEWING.. dont you just HATE it when you sew things in a new way but the WRONG way????
