A crusade!
One in which I fully support.
She wants a variety of extra wide quilt backs.
Just think of one solid, gorgeous piece of fabric to fit seamlessly with your top.
That idea is love.
It is so much love in fact that I made the comment "I am so in favor of your campaign! If you had a lil' banner I would run around town with it."
And then I went and made that silly comment happen.
It's hard to take a picture of yourself holding something so I used my Monkey stand-in.

I think that selvage edge is my favorite part. You see Katy just mentioned that Moda has brought out dottie fabric in 108". There's five colors (including grey and green which you know I'll be getting). So when I found those Moda selvages in my scrap bin I knew they had to be part of this banner.
Hopefully Katy doesn't think I'm too crazy.
The idea of more 108" options just has me far too excited. I always mess up piecing backs. Or piecing it right and then basting it so the pieces are crooked. Or they don't line up with quilt lines.
Ug.
Me an' my banner are headed to the LQS. 108" or Bust!
What a creative idea! Love the banner. Ha the Monkey holding it up made my evening! =D
ReplyDeleteLol
ReplyDeleteWell this Katy thinks you're quite certifiable ;o) But you're in good company!
ReplyDeleteThat's perfect!!!! I love it! I hope that you sent this post to Katy....
ReplyDeleteI'm joining this bandwagon. I told my LQS today to say something to their reps.
ReplyDeleteThat's why I buy sheets at goodwill. I like a pieced backing but mine always look wonky, and not in a good way.
ReplyDeleteI think your sweet monkey can be the face of the 108" movement."Hell no! We won't sew....our backings" It needs a bit of tweaking.
