Border, Backing, Binding Fabrics for Red and Aqua Quilt

Here are the fabrics I picked out to finish my Red and Aqua Quilt that I showed in progress recently...



This is the bundle of fabrics as I received it from Natalie's Etsy shop.



And these are the fun fabrics I found to complete my quilt! The red fabric will be the binding and maybe a small inner border. The aqua with the little hedgehogs and red hearts will be the main border around the quilt top. And the aqua with the big happy daisies on it will be the backing.



These are all Michael Miller fabrics. I had a hard time finding the Plain Jane fabric in enough yardage for the backing because I understand it's out of print now. Most places I found that carried it only had a few yards left or just fat quarters, so I lucked out finding the amount I needed in one cut, plus the other two cute red and aqua fabrics to go along with it.

There are two other fabrics in that bundle too, but they are not for this quilt. I'll show them to you next time. I could have added up to a total of 20 yards to my order without paying any extra shipping, but I couldn't afford to do that, so I just picked out two more fabrics for a gift I'll be making later. No sense paying that extra level of shipping without getting something to make it worthwhile!

Happy Stitching!
