This floral print is going to be the backing for last years Paducah swap top. It is wide enough, but the length concerned me. It was only a couple inches longer than the top. I was worried that the back would shrink with the quilting, plus I know I lose a bit in attaching the back to the leaders.
To remedy this, I added a four inch piece of muslin at either end. That will give me a bit of wiggle room. I can attach the muslin to the leaders without losing any of the length of the backing.
Took Addy for a walk after work yestereday. It was such a beautiful afternoon, would have been a shame to not enjoy it. Although I did have a bit of a mishap. While walking past another dog in it's yard, with Addy pulling like crazy, I walked on some loose gravel and down I went! Hit the ground with a thud. haha. Only thing wounded was my pride. I did have a little stiffness in my shoulder, and had a bit of tenderness on my bottom. No big deal. Good thing I have lots of padding!
