Valerie shows you that if you select an interesting piece of fabric for the back of your quilt you can use this as the inspriation for your quilting design. Valerie uses some fleece with a jigsaw pattern as her inspiration but you could also think about some large floral patterns too. Just bear in mind that whatever you select has to live happily with the design on the front of your quilt and that the bobbin thread is the one that will be showing on the front of your quilt.
