I finally finished the second one and quilted it. For the backing, I used indigo fabric I dyed over a year ago as an experiment in dyeing. It was not as dark as I wanted it, and I put together all the half yards for the backing. I love the backing and the front. Indigo is tough to dye, and although I love it, I don't think I am capable of dyeing my own.

I just found Moda has made a new bundle of Indigo which I immediately bought on sale from Green Fairy. I am glad I jumped on it, because they are already out of stock. I love indigo!

VERY nice!! I like the off-center star - and the backing is as interesting as the front - thanks for sharing - ;))
SEW gorgeous, Linda!!! I love the setting you chose for your indigo HSTs. Those indigo fabrics you dyed? They turned out fabulous!! Sorry that you weren't pleased with their color pick-up.
Beautiful!!! The back is most interesting.
It's a very striking quilt and I'm sure whoever ends up with it will love both sides equally.
So cool...love the indigo too! I think your backing is great....just because it is not what you usually see:)
