Crazy Backing

I have the backing pieced for the red four patch strip top.  It's a piece of fabric with huge shells and ladies swimming on it, pieces together with fabric with big flowers on it.  Just a bit loud, don't you think?  haha.

The backing is going to be real close in size to the top and I'm a little concerned about that.  Wavering between putting another strip of material on the backing for good measure or just taking my chances.

Hoping to get it all loaded on Gemma tonight.  I have named the domestic machine in the basement J.T., so if I have to add a piece to the back, I may try sewing on J.T.  If nothing else, I can play with the machine while Gemma is warming up.
