OTOH they make great baby quilts as long as there's enough fabric for a background.<br />I remember the days of muslin but never did it then and some guild members were very shocked at my backs. I have used muslin on two quilts in the last few years and find it very soft. But generally the back is a great place to use up old fabrics. And we all have lots of that, don't we? <br />Happy Holidays, Mary.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12922656955543465650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231509571353812426.post-50156295999488663472019-12-16T17:10:58.631-06:002019-12-16T17:10:58.631-06:00I'm amazed by your stars.

Someone with a joyful heart is really going to appreciate this quilt. The back works, by the way. At one time I used only muslin for backs but love pieced backs now. I have no idea how that even happened.

The book concept is so interesting... don't you wish you could just have dinner with the author, and find out what he's really like? This is my point exactly on my connection stories... people can be very interesting when you scratch the surface, and find out what makes them passionate in life.
