I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day.
Part of the day, I spent pulling scrap strips for the binding for Tiddly-Winks. I'm a long way from quilting it, but I like to get the easy parts done when I can. The binding is sewn together; various lengths of many different colored fabrics.

From the beginning of the project I had a fabric chosen for the backing. It doesn't at all 'match' the front of the quilt, unless you think round shapes of the planets as being the same as the round shapes of the Tiddly-Winks. Some of them are the same size as you can can see by the 2.5" square ruler placed on the fabric for scale.

My daughter said Thane will love having planets on the back of his quilt.
