Here's the front view of my latest baby quilt. The measurements of it are 35-1/2" x 39".
I did end up making a new backing for it and am happy I took the time to do so. (Kind of gives new meaning to the term "pieced back", doesn't it?)I was in a group of quilters once when were were discussing what was our personal favorite part of making a quilt. One gal, who was an expert quilter and constantly turned out gorgeous quilts of intricate design, said her favorite part was putting on the binding.
"Really?" I asked.
"For sure," she said. "Because as soon as I'm done with the binding, I can start a new quilt."
Now I can go start a new quilt!

I really like the backing. Wish I had the patience to do this. But, I'm always in a rush to finish and don't usually piece the back.
Great Job!
Hi, Beth - Well, you know in this instance, it was a matter of necessity that I piece the backing!
And I'm glad to have your boost of confidence because the more I look at it, the more it looks a bit excessive to me. That's the trouble when you look at something you've done yourself for too long!
