It's going to take me a while to work through these net added yards, but I can't make quilts without backing, and I don't have anything big enough to use.
Some of it is for my BILs quilt which needs to be done by September. I chose orange pinwale corduroy for his quilt. I completed this quilt top a year ago in May.
This is a Swirly Girls Design called 'Inner Piece', found in Australian Patchwork & Quilting magazine (vol.19 no 4). 'Inner Piece' reminds me of their 'Grand Central' pattern, only Inner Piece uses nine patches, and Grand Central uses pinwheels. This is my 4th Swirly Girl quilt. Their patterns are very easy to follow, and simple enough that they don't take forever to get done. They are also good for novelty or big prints.
The cool thing about the fabric in this is that it is 3D. It comes with 3D glasses, so that the spaceships and planets look like they are hovering on top of the quilt. I think this will appeal to my BIL who is a computer engineer and believes in aliens (or at least that is what he tells his nieces and nephews). Dwood is also a photographer who travels a lot (China, Japan, DC, etc.) and takes great pictures. http://www.flickr.com/photos/darrenbarnes/sets/72157631868359355/
This BIL is the first in-law to figure out that if you admire my quilting, you will probably end up with a quilt. My SIL recently said she liked one of my scrap quilt tops, so that one is ear-marked for her.
Some of the fabric I bought is for the back of my SILs quilt, and I'm hoping to have enough left over from these 2 quilts to back another. To see other stash reports:

Ooh, I really like the looks of this one. The colors are wonderful and the fact that it's 3D is a bonus. Don't think I've ever seen that type of fabric before. I love blue and goldish colors together. Lucky recipient.
