Daffodil Lane

Earlier today I had thought I would put on a light border to sort of tone down the bright middle, but as I way laying various fabrics up against the quilt top Alexis insisted on the the bright green you see below! She said "Mommy I want gween! It's so pwetty!" So we went with green, given it's her quilt and she picked out the fabric for the top herself a year ago and now she wanted the green! What can I say...She likes bright, wild colors! :o)

I didn't have any extra wide quilt backing fabric that matched this quilt (and I use the term "match" loosely! ;o)) so I decided to take some other fabric that I had, that was sort of wild, but not quite as out there as the front, yet had some of the same colors and piece together as a back piece.

I decided to use the green in the middle and use the blue on both sides since this will come around the front and lay on the green border there to "bind" it all together. This way it evens out the tones a bit.

Here's a close up of the blue and green back fabrics:

It shouldn't take very long at all to bring it all together! It's all laying on my ironing board ready to go!

So we're moving along nicely! I plan to pin it all together and get started on quilting tomorrow during Alexis' "nap" since we are beginning our ABC unit in the morning and won't have time! And of course I'll post pictures when we're done! :o)
