Normally, squirrels race through here and get new quilts started off tangent. However, in cleaning off a counter, trying to get my new granddaugher's quilt moving along after a long stall, I found fabric from the Nine Patch Kit I made. I do not like the colors of the fabric and can't see saving and cutting scraps from it, so I thought maybe I could use it in a backing. Much later down the road, I found I made the whole back from leftovers from the Nine patch and left over strips trimming quilts off the longarm. It took much longer than I thought and poor Violet's quilt still languishes, but those darn squirrels won again.

That is a lot of piecing for a back but it looks great with the quilt.
I LOVE it!! It makes great use of the scraps - and you don't have to worry about them any more - they are GONE - LOL - ;))
I love a pieced back, I have made backs more involved than that. One of them "sold" the quilt for me. As soon as she saw the back, she said "Let me go get the money."
Such creativity from cold cold weather..Nice quilt and clever backing!!
This squirrel is one that NEEDED to be chased - I love the pieced backing!
