I was going to sandwich the Stitch Happens quilt top, but then I remembered that the backing I made was a skosh too small. About 2 1/4" too small in one direction.
I added a strip of scraps from making the quilt top with a little of the background solid on either end. Then I added one more small strip of the background to seal in those scraps. This will be the straight edge that I begin with when I do the sandwiching to make sure that line of scraps doesn't get trimmed off.
I really like this combo of the green orange red/magenta and purple pink in this picture. Striking.
Did I like the quilt backing as it was before? Yes. Should I have just added a big width of just the background solid instead of the pieced column of scraps? Maybe. But I think it looks just fine.
Still a bit unnaturally obsessed with how the teeny HST's turned out.
