    OKay, for the backing, how about sewing a similar floral pattern, or even just swirls- a thin piece of wadding between two pieces of cotton (or your preferred fabric) and then sewing the patterns. This would give a 3-d look and feel to the back. Does that make sense? Maybe a sewing guru could tell you how to do that properly. If you don't know what I mean, my MIL made a baby quilt for Steph that I am pretty sure has this on the back, and I can take a pic of that and email you.

    I have to go out now, but I'll think about it some more.

    Great work by the way, that's fantastic! I'm very jealous.

    i was thinking of sewing around the leafs on the front of the quilt and this obviously would come trough on the back too with the flower design. And on the white patches i am gonna do a double star i was thinking but unsure hrmmm.

    thanks for your advice
