And how perfect is that backing? You really lucked out! A few seams in the border won't show at all after quilting and washing, you'll just see nice texture with the cartoons as the stars of the show :)Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06306854459459257368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2572468093565083431.post-37187433148626410822018-03-16T06:00:05.004-05:002018-03-16T06:00:05.004-05:00What a great way to recycle your unfinished PJs. ...What a great way to recycle your unfinished PJs.

Also, it will give just a bit of special treatment to that border. How cute would it be to add a little mouse or even some "mouse holes" for Jerry to duck into?Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02834496271292973632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2572468093565083431.post-3319853218628414142018-03-15T23:00:42.283-05:002018-03-15T23:00:42.283-05:00that reminds me...

I guess I'll have to dig it out tomorrow to see what, if anything, I can do with it. I'm pretty sure it's at least partially assembled.. probably just needs collar and button holes. That Tom & Jerry fabric is super cute!! Can't wait to see a pic of the finished quilt.Carol R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05346526955385686775noreply@blogger.com
