It's interesting that the backs are such an important factor of a show quilt, or I should say of any quilt. I think we all get a little caught up in the backing more and more. I would love to hear more about your quilts.<br />Nancy <br />NancyNancy Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08285584783360740839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424809549437939416.post-23293085038912764142015-04-21T05:41:07.278-07:002015-04-21T05:41:07.278-07:00Well Nancy I agree with you.

I started in the quilting hobby after retirement in 1999 and I too remember when the back was not such a big deal. I make a lot of my quilts to enter into Quilt Shows and it is imperative now that one makes the back as pretty as the front. It started because the quilter (either long arm or domestic) wanted to hide their stitches for the Judges. NOW it has become a point to either win or lose a Ribbon. AND it certainly adds to the cost of making the quilts as expensive as the fabric is. Oops... Tried to make it short, but you hit a sore point with me on this one too. Nice quilt.
