Sometimes, making the quilt back is more fun than making the top. I tend to get much more improvisational with quilt backs by using up scraps from the tops.

Baby quilt for my soon-to-be born granddaughter. I've been wanting to make an hour glass quilt for quite awhile, and making a smaller quilt was good practice.

This quilt started as a simple desire to just stitch some fabric together without any particular design in mind. I had bins of scraps sorted by color and decided to make a bunch of improvisational blocks from those scraps. Many months later I made the black and white back to contrast the colorful quilt top.
