Rosemary, the quilt is beautiful. I too only have cream bottom line. I have used it on a white background and it is hardly noticeable because it is so fine. But depending on how accurate you are with the old SID you could use the invisible thread either. Personally, I would go for a yellow binding too.

Looking fab, rosemary! Cream bottom line should work just fine. And I'd probably try a white piping ( or just a thin white line, and then the red binding - thinking that bindings get the dust if hung, and use if used, which would show less on the red than on the yellow ) but that's me, always thinking of the cleaning, or more specifically, of how to avoid the cleaning...Lotti, Kuessnacht - Switzerland

Here is a better lit photograph - we have stripes of sunshine today (the other stripes are rain & hail)
Lotti, good point about going for a darker binding something else to consider before I hit the dye bucket.
Originally I had planned on doing a 5 strip strippy back using these fabrics and doing a triangle zig-zag line between each colourShould I go for something a bit less drastic in colour change? - it might be time to go excavating to see what I have in the stash in large pieces ( sigh, decisions, decisions...)

Originally posted by idahoRosemary...I would look to something lighter for the back as it could "dinge" up that white ! And being
a fan of red bindings...I like that idea best...with or without a piping..white OR yellow ... Either would
work I think !! Looking good !!
The good news with the backing that I had planned, is that I have another top on the go, that it will go nicely with. Especially as I really like the look of the backing - it is good enough for a top by itself - but then what would I do for it's backing?
So major expedition into the bottom of the airing cupboard here I come - I may be some time....

Well that wasn't as deep an expedition as I was expecting- for the record my airing cupboard is a large walk in one where I store my towels & bedlinen (the rest of the clean laundry stays on the guest bed until it it ironed & sometimes put away), well it is a walk in one, once I have moved the hoover & carpet beater out of the way :wink: and at the bottom is a large 32" cube of space packed out with boxes & bags of fabric and the odd sleeping bag, pile of hats, box of plaster of paris & some welding rods :?
Still I have managed to find these... a couple of peachy coloured fabricsThere isn't enough of the batik on the left, but there is enough of the dappled one on the right to do the whole job, but I don't want to leave it just plain, so I am comtemplating keeping to the original plan of a strippy with triangle borders between each strip, just using these two fabrics instead. There shouldn't be any dramatic colour change shade through with these

Rosemary I love those fabrics. I decided to pull out my little quilt and finish it. I am adding a border and will back and quilt it just for fun. It's not as bad as I remembered it...true, there are several points that don't quite match or are slightly covered, but it looks pretty and I think I'll enjoy working on it.

Fussen-Wussen-Dussen. B****r it, B****r it, B****r it. :evil: :evil: :evil:
I nearly took the easy way out and just used a plain back, but then I simplified the back plan again and instead of making 5 strips I went with 3. And I used the same triangle border ruler template that is on the outer edge of the front for the change between the fabrics. I did some housework (read cleared enough space in the lounge & hoovered to lay out the whole thing) Pinned out the backing, laid out the nice wool batting, got the top spread, smoothed, and pinned in place. All going fine so far
BUT
One of the white patches in one of the stars has a grey/black mark on it! On the white border one of the seams got twisted and shows up clearly, and another one doesn't look as if it comes off the corner straight (there is a bit of easing right next to it) Having slept on it I have decided that I cannot live with these snags since this is for competition, so I really ought to be pulling the sandwich apart instead of grumbling about it here on the forum - aaaarrrrgggghhhhhh!
There will also be a delay in pictures since I have put my camera in a 'safe' place :roll:
