TOPIC: Please share your different background fabrics

Please share your different background fabrics 10 Jan 2021 12:30 #153308

I too am still waiting for my Art History background to arrive. I have almost completed all my House 1 and 2 and will add the background when it arrives. I am considering opting for a different background in the Mariner's compass. It is a Timeless Treasures white with silver dots. It may be too white against the Marcia Derse fabric. I shall post some photos later for advice

GreenQUILTS, it should be easy to see all the backgrounds Quilter's are using by going to all the posts in the post area For Small House 1 and 2. You will need to scroll back thru the pages. There is quite a variety from light to dark. You also get the benefit of seeing how that background looks behind the houses they have built. Also, if you have ordered the fabric and really love that look you, since the background is the last two pieces you could build all of the house except the last 2 pieces. Another idea would be to use two backgrounds. Buy enough fabric (2yards) that complements the Derse fabric. Use it for thr Mariners Compass background and small houses background. That would get you thru March when we do small house 3 and 4. HelenW
