After cutting strips for the abandoned brights on black placemats that became Razzle-Dazzle (still a work in progress - see label at end of post), I had these strips left over.
I have long planned to turn them into a quilt top known as B.O.B. (brights on black).
So when I was cleaning up bits and pieces in the design studio, I had grouped all of these together to put into the brights on black resource box.
But then . . .
I wondered if there might be enough pieces to turn into a scrappy back for B.O.B. ??
With what is on the design wall and the other pieces laying on the sewing table plus a handful of 2.5" strips from the leftover bindings drawer, I do believe there is a scrappy back lurking.
I'll trim things into 2.5" and 4.5" an 6.5" widths to be sewn together end to end and then reassess.
(all this while I should have been working on other things, mind you)

I hadn't thought of bright-on-black as a theme, but they're well-represented in my stash. I predict a great quilt will come from them.
Hope you do continue on and made up the backing, beautiful mix of fabrics in there.
I think it would make a wonderful top by itself. Just saying.
Sometimes our brains require a different sort of exercise than we had planned. Happy sewing, Julie!
That will be one gorgeous quilt backing!
