Perfectly Pieced Quilt Backs - New Resourse Book Release!

 Today is that special day when a great new resource book is released into the quilting community.  It is the work of Kelly Young aka  MyQuiltInfatuation .   Kelly has shared all 30 backings in her blog posts so be sure to check it out.  You will not be disappointed!



I was given the opportunity to review this book and I was extremely impressed.  The detail was so inclusive with size options, cutting measurements and instruction to cover every aspect your quilt project might need. 

It is so thorough and truly went beyond my expectations. It is 154 pages of information, great photos and projects and it categorizes as a resource book. 

Each example covers instructions for 3 sizes of quilts and gives cutting instructions for the pieced backings that incorporate your leftovers; whether they be small scraps, large chunks or yardage pulled from stash.  The projects included are well categorized.  It is easy to find a section that covers your needs based on your size of leftovers.  All examples are beautifully photographed with complete diagrams for construction.

Would it be cheating if you selected one of these backing designs to make a great speedy quilt top too?
There are 30 choices of backing designs to choose from!

Want more?  This book also offers you 18 free downloadable quilt projects of the examples used in the book.

So,  I had to try one possibility from Perfectly Pieced Quilt Backs book to finish my Christmas Bows quilt top which had been waiting for a pieced border.  It is a design from Jordan Fabrics.



here is the top with binding partially hand-stitched down
My project is 64 x 72, a very large lap quilt.  I didn't 'quilt it to death' 
this time and I love it.




Here is my backing made from the new Perfectly Pieced Quilt Back book.  The design is called "Skinny and Wide". Its on page 115.  I had several stripsets leftover from making the border for the top (really I changed my mind and did not use them).  I also pulled some stash from my neutrals box that I did not love anymore.  



this is my  perfectly pieced back,  truly made in one day from stash and leftovers,
I was so pleased with the pattern and ease of construction!  Its perfect.




The Perfectly Pieced Quilt Backs book is one that you will refer to time and again.  You will love the variety of designs to pick from and all the details included in your journey.

I'm sending you directly to Kelly's blog to get your own copy of this resource.


These blogs also made a perfectly pieced quilt back of their choice from the new book.  Be sure to visit them to read what they have to share about their experience.


It's a blog-hoppy day! I'll also be joining these linky parties this week.  Be sure to visit them to see what other creative quilters are sharing.
