| Top on left; stash fabric on right |
I spent a lot of time online shopping for a Kaffe print for the backing. I found several; but, I couldn't justify spending so much money on a backing! I decided to look into my stash for an option. If I couldn't find something suitable then I would make a purchase.

| Auditioning the pieces |
I found a purple Paula Nadelstern print. She came to our guild in 2002. I likely purchased that two yard piece of fabric around that time. I haven't used it for making blocks that have a kaleidoscope effect in all this time so I used it.

| Three seams remaining |
I'm glad I pre-washed it as it bled purple! There was a little of the green fabric remaining from piecing the
back of Scrappy Kaffe, I used it. After I had trimmed the length of the Nadelstern print, I found it was almost the perfect size if I turned the print to run horizontally rather than vertically. I like the interest turning the fabric gave to the back.
 |
| Finished back |
I stitched the pieces together. Soon, I had a finished back. This one will be used for the challenge top! There is about three yards of fabric in this back. I chose a red purple fabric from stash to be the sleeve. I cut the purple binding. One day, I'll layer and baste this project. Documenting making the back was goal number one on my March
list.
