Backing for 2021 BOM

08-18-2021, 09:06 AM

Would your recommend 5 yards of fabric for the backing for Color My World quilt?

Also, is there a listing of the formum topics somewhere? I did not find anything related to a backing for the BOM, so I started a new topic, but maybe I shouldn't have. Pam S.

5 yards would be a good amount of 44" wide fabric. The top is about 70" square, so 2 yards minimum. I use the backing fabric to make a hanging sleeve too so I need extra for that.

All the topics for BOM 2021 Color My World are on the page for BOM 2021--it is a long list. It would be faster to Search the Forum, box on the left. I don't think there was this same topic yet. So yours is a good one and I'm sure more will post a reply here with their questions.

Here is the fabric I used for the back--it is wide goods so I probably got 2.5 yards.
