Remember my quilt top? I finished it in August and four months later it still is just that. A quilt top.
I received a few weeks ago the fabric that I'll use as backing, pictured above, right, and seriously, I can't believe that it took me all these months to finally make a decision about this backing fabric. I have been so fussy about it, and it could have kept going on, the hesitation, the constant "what if I find something better".
The only reason why I decided to buy this fabric now is that the store was down to 4 1/2 yards and I needed four. I got scared that they would sell out and I'd be back to my starting point of having no idea what fabric to use. Because this Valori Wells Del Hi Pom Pom was the only remaining option on my list.
I am still not convinced that it is the best match to my quilt top, but at least the fabric is gorgeous and bold enough to get some attention.
My plan when I received the fabric was to baste the quilt over that weekend and have it ready for hand quilting during the holidays. However, as I write these lines, the fabric is still waiting, unwashed and uncut.
For my defense, I was working on Christmas presents at the time, and they had to be finished before the quilt.
