Stash Report 10/11/15

I've been searching for a suitable wide backing for my Kaffe/Batik Flying Geese project for awhile. Since it has so many seams and weighs a lot, and since I plan on straight-line quilting this myself, I want a wide backing with no seams.

I found the most perfect backing fabric! Ginormous text of color names!

Not only is this ideal for this quilt, but it's perfect for me, too. When I was working, it was part of my job to name colors. So how cool is this to find fabric with color names?!!!

So, 3 yards of wide backing came in this week. Nothing out that I can count.

    This is my most favorite quilt that you have made to date. That backing fabric is so cool. Where on earth did you find it in a wide width fabric? I have a flying geese quilt started. Do you press your seams open? And how do you baste a quilt to prep for lots of straight line quilting?

    Love this!! And what a neat job to have to name colors. I have always been fascinated by color names. In fact, I love to read paint chip brochures and fabric charts, and when I'm having trouble falling asleep, I try to alphabetize names for generic colors (such as names for "yellow"). Nerdy, I know, but fun, and it does help distract me from things that interfere with sleep--and it works! I have people like you to thank for that.

    Your quilt is beautiful, and you found the perfect backing from what I can see. Where on earth did you find the backing I have never seen that one before? What a fun job you had coming up with names for colors.

    Very fun backing fabric. Your flying geese quilt is gorgeous, love the pink and orange brights. That's not a color combo I would have thought to use.

    Oh my goodness!! You had a job naming colors?? I have always thought that would be such a cool, fun job. Yes, this is the perfect backing for your gorgeous quilt. I love, love, love this Flying Geese quilt.
