| Prewashed and tamed backing |
Prewashing the wide backing fabric isn't a big deal; but, I sure dislike ironing and squaring the ends of the fabric! it is a task that I will put off and put off until I can't! Such was the case with this wide back! I should have taken a photo of it after I removed it from the dryer; but, here it is tamed!

| Backing and flimsy ready |
At the longarmer's I chose pink So Fine thread and a floral pantograph design for the quilting. The So Fine thread blends well that the texture of the quilting will be evident; but, not the thread color. The Gresham Senior Center longarm group will be quilting it. This is my Lupine and Laughter flimsy. Yes, I was preparing the backing the morning I delivered it!

Getting this project to the longarmer was goal number seven on my March
list. Linking to Finished or Not Friday and Patchwork and Quilts.

I agree ironing is not my favorite task either. Such pretty backing fabric that you chose, Terry. Pink quilting thread was a great choice. Lupine and Laughter is indeed a beauty. Well done and Congratulations.
That's such a pretty purple, Terry! Glad you made it through the "chores" associated with making a backing and on to the longarmer. I'm looking forward to seeing the finish!
Great job, Terry. I love this one. The backing is perfect for it.
Congratulations on getting this one to the longarmer! It's going to be so wonderful to sleep under!!
Looks so beautiful!!! Yes, you've got to tame that backing from the washer/dryer! Do you have a "big board"? Makes it a little easier.
