Chintzd Up Haze Kilim Backing
Thought I'd drop in quickly and show you the backing I've just finished for my Chintzd Up Haze Kilim quilt.
I put the photo's into the clever mosaic maker to be able to show the front and back side by side!
Front Back
I wanted to keep the theme of dots and florals from the front of the quilt so did a patched backing with some of the leftover fabrics.
Talking about using leftover fabrics, I was invited by the gorgeous Rae Ann of Cutie Pinwheel fame to contribute on her Stash Manicure blog. This is a blog where you can find many wonderful ways to use up some of the fabrics in our stash. I am thrilled to be a part of it, check my post here if you want to see! Hope your Sunday is a wonderful one. xo

Really beautiful, Cathy! It goes well with the front and showcases some beautiful fabrics! Your quilt just gets better and better!
Beautiful back Cathy - this is going to be a stunning quilt front and back!
PS I use those clip on skirt/trouser coathangers to hang quilts on my fence - I find it easier than using pegs.
It just looks glorious Cathy. I love having dramatic backs too and often use those big prints that are too gorgeous to cur for the backing. Well done on the invite to the stash manicure site and also being given the nod by Kaffe and Co.
Looks great Cathy...but I would not have expected any less from you!
A really good way to let the bigger prints come into their own! Love that back and it goes so well with the front! gorgeous!!
A spectacular quilt--front and back.
The backing is just beautiful and perfect for this quilt! Great use of the extra fabric!!
FABULOUS front AND back!!! I love to piece my quilt backs. : ) It makes them interesting too and is a surprise when the quilt is turned over.
Love the backing! That would be a front for me...fabulous!
Your beautiful quilt front deserves a beautiful quilt back! Yours stands up to the challenge. :-) Lovely!
Hey Cathy, I love a pieced back! Fabulous stuff! Happy sewing!
I just love your backing, will be great for the quilts overall effect...just wonderful!
oooooh - I love that centre fabric!!
This is beautiful, Cathy, and I particularly enjoyed your post over at Stash Manicure. I have a landscape fabric for my son's first "manly" quilt that is not enough for the entire quilt, and I've been playing with ideas on how to piece it into a backing. Lots of food for thought here and at your Stash Manicure post. Thanks for sharing!

Another stunner Cathy!!
Yummy scrumptious!
Love the back as well Cathy, the stripes look fantastic! I went over and had a read of Stash Manicure blog as well, great ideas.
Just found this blog on the recommendation of an acquaintance. The quilt is gorgeous.
Oh it is so pretty and a great compliment to the front.
I love it! I checked out that guest post...that's a great contribution! That's an excellent was to use up scraps! :)
Awesome!
Beautiful!!! Love, love, love it!
Cathy, your quilts are always so pretty and this one is just so gorgeous to stare at.
Love the backing Cathy! It sets off the front perfectly :)
