It is amazing how much of your stash you use when you make backing for quilts. Last week I made 2 backings for quilts of valor quilts so my numbers used look good plus I cut out a couple of things. However, Angela at
Quiltswithaheart.com was having a sale and how could I resist? It was buy one, get one yard and this is what I added. Surprised aren't you that it's red, white, and blue?
Used this week: 18.625 yards

You are right, backing do eat up yardage. Thus, I try to find my backings on sale or piece various yardage together for a back to make it more economical.
ReplyDeleteSweet fabrics. Hard to resist a sale like that.
