The Backing That Became a Quilt Top Which Became a Quilt!

It all started out with this quilt.

Blue Greens Log Cabin Blocks

I began piecing together leftover pieces for the backing and came up with this.

    I piece a lot of my backings, too, but I don't think I've ever ended up using one as a quilt top. That is so pretty! You made the right decision!
