The quilt top is complete (whoop, whoop) and I’ve chosen the backing (bottom picture). I bought the backing fabric at our local quilt shop; the person helping me and I shared a quiet laugh about having to explain what a “record” is.

This is the largest quilt I’ve made — it is 50” by 50”. Quilt fabric is usually 42” wide, so I’m going to have to piece the backing, something I’ve never done before. I’ve had to order some extra black fabric and when it comes in I’ll create the backing, build the quilt sandwich and then quilt the whole thing together.
