Quick story -- Every Christmas Eve, those employees who come in to work are given the chance to win a quilt. I have been doing this for several years and enjoy looking back at my fabric choices, the pattern and the quilting style -- which was my machine "stitch-in-the-ditch" phase. The owner of this quilt, Sheila brought it in to have a little rip repaired on the back. 
Would you believe, I found the scraps from the pieced backing that I used to make the repair. 
Even as far back as 2001, I loved piecing the backs -- and if you look close, the binding is pieced too. COUNT DOWN TO HOUSTON --- 21 DAYS UNTIL DEPARTURE!!!!!!
