My daughter chose the fabric for the back, and I also made use of two extra blocks, plus a block I made when testing options before my month as queen. My original plan was to ask for a 16 inch finished block comprised of four 8 inch Crosses and Losses sections, but my test block took me far past the 1.5 hour limit!
I had enough of the backing fabric left to also use it for the binding, but I won't be doing that again! Binding is my least favorite part of quilt making (and the only part that I actively *dislike*), and I had the hardest time seeing the edge of the binding against the backing when sewing it down on that side. Only highly-contrasting bindings for me from now on!
I really enjoyed the bee this year, and am looking forward to 2018!
