After settling on the name Stella by Starlight for my just completed kaleido-spinner quilt (subject of my last post),I made asimple pieced back for itusing fabricsfrom my stash. I decided to stick to black fabrics for the back since the quilt will be quilted primarily with black thread.

A review of my stash yielded two prints that are perfectly in keeping with the theme of the quilt. How serendipitous! One features tiny white stars ona black background, whilethe other is a geometric print thatfrom a distance looks likestar clusters. Here is the completed back, which measures 60″ x 80″:

The strip of floral fabric near the middleis the focus fabric that created the one-of-a-kind kaleido-spinners in the quilt top:

I’m going to have Stella custom quilted by a local longarmer whose work is, well, stellar.
