What began as a suggestion to Marcus fabrics--that we should print a wide fabric for customers to use as a backing for the Amish With A Twist BOM quilts--turned in to the 60"-wide fabric you see here.
Why 60"? Because the second Amish BOM, Amish With A Twist II: The Classics, is a 105" square, a 110"--wide backing fabric was not feasible. I did not want longarm quilters cursing me for designing a backing that was just quite wide enough. So, the 60" wide fabric seemed the perfect solution!
In addition to the navy background, we have one with a red background and one with cream.
And it just dawned on me that a while back I did a reversible tablecloth and napkins pattern for Marcus. These wide fabrics, combined with some coordinating solids or prints, would make for fun and colorful table settings. I can see my Fiestaware on the navy tablecloth
