I realized a couple days ago that I have used up all of my backing fabrics in bright colors, so I ordered some more. I usually order backings from Connecting Threads. In their clearance section they have a lot of fabrics for less than $3, so I can order enough for a back for less than $10. Plus if I spend over $50 shipping is free. I've ordered loads of fabric from them over the years and never had a problem with the quality or the colors running. I'm not sponsored obviously, just a plug for one of my favorite fabric sources :)
And here's the obligatory Rory photo. She's holding down that stack of blocks like a champ!

The block are looking great together, very well coordinated. To keep the cost low, I usually use Kona solids for my quilt backs. I like your idea of ordering from Connecting Threads. Rory is obviously taking her job very seriously :)

The quilt looks great! I usually go clearance section for my backings too. Sometimes I can find a good deal at Fabric.com too.
ReplyDeleteLove Rory. Thanks for the tip about backing fabric from Connecting Threads. I really like the design of this quilt. Very pretty. I came across your blog on WIP Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteThe string diamond blocks are looking great!
ReplyDeleteI agree that Connecting Threads has great clearance prices, and I have gotten many lovely fabrics from them.
