You may have already chosen but personally I'd go with either of the holly fabrics rather than a plaid--as much as I love them!--for a backing, just to avoid having to match up the lines (whereas the holly would be a little forgiving). Not to mention, sometimes it's not printed straight and might have that advertised if near edges of quilt. But either way, they're all 4 beautiful fabrics for a quilt. Good luck on your to-do's! I don't know where August is disappearing too, either!Cheree @ The Morning Latte https://www.blogger.com/profile/05537258163077932864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3348317753715681760.post-84102158753408490132020-08-19T20:35:52.056-05:002020-08-19T20:35:52.056-05:00For me, sometimes having to make up my mind about ...For me, sometimes having to make up my mind about border and backing fabric is the hardest part. Actually, deciding how to quilt it is the hard part.<br /><br />The Christmas fabric backing is so pretty and feels like it should be wrapping paper instead of fabric.<br /><br />Good luck with your goals!dqhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08186878644626859511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3348317753715681760.post-3217442025978697092020-08-18T11:37:54.400-05:002020-08-18T11:37:54.400-05:00I'd use the both the holly and cardinal fabric...I'd use the both the holly and cardinal fabrics with a band of the Christmas wrapping paper (upper right corner) as a band between them.

I think the holly print and the lower left plaid could be pieced into a great backing! Which ever you choose will be perfect!grammajudybhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00562284172505849145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3348317753715681760.post-49356546546361501152020-08-18T08:18:38.833-05:002020-08-18T08:18:38.833-05:00I think the border looks great.

The one looks just like a package waiting to be opened - you know, one of those, ooh - fancy - they must REALLY like me packages. I think the holly and the cardinals look great together - I had to double-check to see if they weren't the same.
