Hex Quilt Backing

Since I didn't have enough of the navy blue fabric to back Jeff's hex quilt, I had to be a little creative in coming up with a solution. I thought about it for a couple days before I finally came up with this idea.
The center block is the one I rejected from the front of the quilt. I didn't like it well enough for the front, but it was fine for the back.

I'm hoping to try and quilt this one myself. Though, I'm going to try practicing on some scraps and see how I do; if I don't think I can do a good job, then I'll send it out . . . as usual.

  1. I started quilting mine... I decided to be okay with my skill level. For what I am doing, it is fine. And by the time I get done, I will be better at it.

    1. Good point. If this were for me, I'd do that. But since it's a gift for Jeff, I have a higher standard. =)

  2. Do you hand quilt or use the machine? The back is perfect compliment to the front.

    1. I use the machine. Actually, I normally pay somebody else to use the machine. But, right now we have more time than money so I'm gonna try and do this myself.
