So I finished the quilt back. I was originally going to have a row of butterflies on the back of the quilt (similar to the quilt top), but as I was nearing the end of the quilt top I was getting tired of butterflies. (2 butterfly quilts in a row will do that).
Instead of a row of butterflies I decided to do a row of 2" strips of the patterned fabric used on the quilt top, with a border around the row. The only thing that did not change in the design of the quilt back was having the remainder of the quilt back in the blueberry fabric. I figured that since the blueberry fabric was the first fabric chosen and inspired the whole colour/fabric selection that it was fitting for it to be the main focus of the quilt back.
Here are some more pictures.
The full quilt back.

Despite the fact that I am getting tired of butterflies (and do not plan on making any more butterfly quilts in the near future) I am really happy about how this quilt is turning out. Wish me luck on the machine quilting - it will be my first large quilt that I will be machine quilting.
Tomorrow I will have some blocks made with some Stampin' Up fabric to show you.
Have a great night.
Katie
