The backing fabric is a cotton floral print, Northcott's "Splendor".

Cat shared some of her piecing planning photos with me...
The pretty quilt top floating as it is being quilted on my Janome QMP18 long arm.
The quilting pattern "Flower Swirls" is lovely on the already beautifully pieced quilt top.
Cat continues to get speedier in her long arming skills!
Cat skillfully adds her perfect hand sewn binding.
After being washed with dye trapping sheets (such as Color Catchers or Color Grabbers), the quilt will be soft and wrinkly. Yes, quilts can be washed and used and loved!
