where I have started a quilt with the back. This is the
first one.
Sorry about the wonky photo. I asked my husband tohold this up as he was walking out the door. So not
only were we in a hurry, but this quilt is king size and
no one else was here to help, so this is it folks!
I saw this cute fabric atJoAnn's about 5 years
ago. It says "Life is just a
bowl of cherries. They
only had three FQs so I
bought them thinking
that someday I would
make something. Then
I ran across Aunt Sukies
Choice in Nancy Martin's book Make Room for
Christmas Quilts. This was the quilt that I could
make with my cherries fabric for the back. It would
still be red and green but not Christmas. Around the
same time (and I can't remember which came first)
I saw this fabric on a bolt and bought 15 yards. The
quilt was starting to come together. I started collecting
red and white lights and darks and black & white lights.
Then I found the border fabric. Perfect!. I even had
enough to make two pillowcases, and I still have
some left.
So I started with the back and a quilt was born.
Until next time...when I'll show you my newest
backwards quilt...

Love it!! We all draw our inspiration from someplace and might as well be the back of the quilt. Some fabric just grabs ya like that and you gotta have it.
Great idea to have a non-xmassy xmas quilt!! Love the way you used the colour in the quilt :)
I like this one a lot. The coral-pinks and green remind me of watermelon, and it goes so well with the fruity print :)
