This is for my Mother and it is going to be her 84th birthday on April the 1st. It is a dark quilt and yet she doesn't like dark colors. She loved this one when I was making it.
This is the backing fabric. I bought it at a shop for 50% off and bought all they had. It is about 1.5 yards to small, but I have some black prints that I am going to piece on the back. Not a heirloom quilt so a pieced back will work. I have to get the ironing board out and get this fabric pressed. It is washed, but until I use the larger pieces I don't press them. Wish me luck on handling this large monster. Chris

I like the colors too but gosh the size of this thing!! You have my very best wishes in struggling through it but..... it can be done.
that is a big one to wrestle with while quilting. It would almost be worth it to pick apart a seam and do it in 2 sections.
