The outer border doesn't show in this photo but it is "almost" the same color as the sashing.
I really don't think anyone will really notice the slight difference in the color.
I had no idea what to use for backing, but I thought "Since there are flowers
on the front, I can use this fabric with flowers that has been in my stash for
YEARS. It is a white background with a large, loose floral print.
I am doing the quilting with a cream colored thread. Which honestly is one of
my "go-to" threads for quilting. And yes, there is another face in the works for
the next Friday Face Off. This is another quilted one - but it is a guy.
I found that creating a male face in fabric was a bit more challenging
for me.
Until Next Time,
Stay Creative

LOVE your quilting - and your choice for the quilt back. I'm looking forward to seeing this week's "Face" - ;))
I love Hobbs cotton/wool blend; it seems that with just 20% of wool, it's a lighter weight. This is looking great, and yay for using a fabric on the back that's hung around for a while!
This is just gorgeous. I am very impressed Gene.
Your quilting looks great! And I love the backing, too!
The backing fabric is a great choice for the baby quilt. Lucky you had it in your stash.
