Someone asked the group members if any of them pieced their backs because she said she didn't have money to go out and buy the 9 yards for the quilt she was working on. Members came out of the woodwork to answer and say what they do. A few people said they hate scrappy backs. A few said they were a lot of work. However, most of the quilters who responded said they use their scraps to create art freely in the back. I want to return to the thread later and pull out the tips some of them shared. Obviously, times are shifting and quilters are becoming much more environmentally aware.
For whatever reason, be it money or the desire to use what they have, the backs of quilts are changing. This is a pic of the back on my last quilt.
Scraps, yes. Using what I have. Yes.
