I said I would post photos of the back of my vintage linen scrappy quilt, so here they are!
I am really excited to see how it all looks quilted and bound. The floral panel is a vintage Hanae Mori sheet that I found at American Way Thrift Store in Burbank (not nearly as clean as Goodwill, but there are good finds. I saw rats running around once *shutter*). The green is a Kona cotton from Jo-Ann’s. I am using Warm & White cotton batting which I have heard good things about. I made sure to buy the Warm & White and not the Warm & Natural, since some of the linens are VERY thin and I don’t want the batting to show through.
I think my favorite part is the bird on the top panel:
I will update again once I brave the free-motion quilting!
