Backing and Basting

I found the most perfect backing for my bright strippy spiral top, a Phillip Jacobs print: 

So now I'm working on basting it. 

My plan is to stitch in the ditch all around the spiral, stipple over the strippy parts, and come back and do something with the walking foot in the black.
