Playing with Backs

Manyberries Trails

Manyberries Trails is a series that I designed and my wife sewed. The same basic unit, but with a different background color, is used for all 4 quilts. In each quilt a different corner of the basic unit is used as the center of a block.

For the labels on the backs I pieced my wife's initials and the date. I took the opportunity to experiment with fine tuning an alphabet.

School House Alphabet Quilt  (See also: 19 December 2009)

This is the back of my School House Alphabet quilt.

The front of the quilt consists of 9 School House blocks that contain the 26 letters of the alphabet and the numbers from 0 to 9.

How did I arrive at this design for the back?
