I've read about that but never found a backing that I would like to trace. I have some of that blue polka dot fabric. I'm thinking of using it with my Winter Sentry (it has a border of stars). However, I find it a tad to dark so I'm going to bleach it. Which reminds me, I have a bleach load right now as we speak/write. Best get that testing square in there. You do have great taste in fabric! ;o)Carolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05969304332997075970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116061752441257596.post-35600194703311990402007-08-29T14:42:00.000-07:002007-08-29T14:42:00.000-07:00And the worst part is you can't get tooo upset wit...And the worst part is you can't get tooo upset with him, he was only being helpful!atethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13563533672161608587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116061752441257596.post-58397958238181985092007-08-28T19:31:00.000-07:002007-08-28T19:31:00.000-07:00What a great idea to quilt from the back of the qu...What a great idea to quilt from the back of the quilt - the fabric is perfect for meandering. You have found the perfect "cheater" fabric! I like the idea of putting thread in the deep freeze - my husband already thinks I've lost my mind, so it wouldn't surprise him in the least if I started keeping thread in the freezer - lol!Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13628639090267311898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116061752441257596.post-64161682950895059532007-08-28T09:39:00.000-07:002007-08-28T09:39:00.000-07:00I love to laugh out loud and I did when I read you...I love to laugh out loud and I did when I read your post.<BR/><BR/>I really like your back for this. My friend quilts from the back all the time. I am going to try it someday but I usually don't think about the back of the quilt until I am almost finished. Guess I'll have to start planning ahead.<BR/>Thanks for the reference to Kristie's blog.

Anyhoo, I could use the freezer for storage of fabric!!!!!! <BR/>Ok Kim, back to you, I'll talk to Darlene on her own blog. LOL!!! But I think that would be cool to quilt on the back of that quilt.<BR/>And I think that's funny that your hubby put that thread on the counter.

Yes, I hand quilted a border on a quilt from the back as the fabric was to dark to show any markings. Works fine. Moving the pins will be a job.

Especially metallics that break when they get too hot from friction.
