When it comes to finding a backing I prefer just one piece for the simple fact it is fast and easy! However, the backing for this particular shape topper at 23" x27" leaves a lot of scraps for the next one. So I decided to use some of my red string blocks for the center of this backing and clean up a bit of the gray polka dot for the outer edges. I think it looks kinda neat!
I had the string blocks pieced from last winter just waiting to be used. These were sewn onto phone book pages. And I have a whole ton of strings yet to be pieced into more backings along the way.
And here is the front of the topper. Linking up with Oh Scrap , Design Wall Monday and Sew & Tell
