Comfort Quilt Top & Back

While it is still easy to assemble quilt tops from scraps, the backs are easier if they are just joined square to square with more of a random look. I am doing Log Cabins for tops as long as I can if there isn't a 'kit' of fabric set aside.

As it is, this quilt was made by pulling coordinating fabrics together, measuring and being somewhat unconventional. Yet, it is so lovely!

The back is made with 4" squares constructed into 9-patch groupings that are joined in rows and columns to be over the size of the top. Two different looks and both really nice.

I laid it out three times and chose the 'Fields & Furrows' layout. Then I had a darker teal for the first border, the swirly beige and hope to have enough of the darker teal for binding. If not, there is a lighter piece that will work. The back has so many fabrics that the teal, which reads almost solid, will work perfectly.
