I just love how stunningly beautiful, yet occasionally boldly imperfect, your quilts are. It's a reminder to all of us to have fun and not take our piecing so seriously. As a quilter friend once told me, "You should only judge a quilt from the back of a galloping horse!" Thank you for providing so much joyful and uninhibited inspiration to create, Angela :)

I love pieced backs. It's like a happy surprise when you turn it over.

I love making pieced backs , especially with the leftovers. Great way to clean up the stash.

Quilt back is really pretty. The cool blues and greens add a lot to the reds.

I Am obsessed with your channel and I have never even made any type of quilt. I just hope someday I will have all this quilting knowledge and start making them with no problem....lol. i have to say I like the solid backs more than the piece back. Just so glad I found your channel! thank you Annette

I like solid backs for quick and easy. I'm so happy they make wide backing fabric in lots of colors and patterns.

Really love this quilt. I like pieced backs. It's like getting two quilts.

By the time I get the top finished I don’t want to piece the back yet. But I have pieced some and loved the way they turned out. Made a sail boat quilt for youngest grandson and on the back made a large boat and framed it. Turned out wonderful. Thanks for this tutorial. Love ❤️ the quilt

I am so glad i found the book with the pattern! It is in my bucket list

I've never done a quilt but I find your quilting videos so relaxing and your excitement really makes me smile. Also, although a little unrelated, I love how you say "nice" or "beautiful" or "fantastic" when you finish a step. I'm not a quilter (..yet! I might soon become one though!) but I'm a pretty crafty person, and your optimism and non-perfectionism reminds me to get excited about finishing little steps, and appreciating the things that go well instead of stressing about the things that don't turn out perfect. Thanks for the inspiration I get to take from there videos! Lots of love ♡

Love this quilt! I like piecing my backs, it gives them a little extra surprise. I didn't know this was something that was normal. I originally did it because the backing I had for a quilt fell short so to stretch it out I pieced it. I loved the way it turned out so I do it to a lot of my quilts.

I love that you spent more time teaching how to quilt and your thought process that goes into it. I think that will help me a lot. LOVE your show my grandson is a fan too. We always have our quilting juice (Dr. Pepper) Thanks for all you do.

I’ve probably used this feather meander more than any other design! Thanks for such an awesome inspirational tutorial! Gotta love the ombré fabrics!!! They are so visually appealing.

I love your tips, especially the one with the correct foot.

Gorgeous. Love your relaxed attitude to perfection. I've never pieced the back, but I sure like the way your back turned out. Very nice!

I have never done a pieced backing but would like to try it! This is such a beautiful quilt. If I ever tried this one I know the seam ripper and I would be best friends by the end of it!!

I really love pieced backs. It makes the quilt reversible! Great tutorial as usual, love the ombre effect.

Love the quilt! Beautiful colors. Batiks would be awesome. I love pieced backs. Most times I have a few blocks left over so I like to incorporate it into the back of the quilt. Makes it look like two for one!

Paisley is my favorite too! So fun and adds so much dimension!

i love pieced backs, always make the back look as nice as front, ex-specially if the person receiving it is quilt worthy. BY the way Thank You Angela , you are an inspiration.

What a star 😍😍 . If your quilt needs a new home I’d gladly love and treasure it😍😍😍Angela

I use flat sheets. They’re finished already, endless variety and sometimes I even fold over the top to create an “additional” top border (about five inches with doubled batting) that’ll make a bed look already made 😘. It’s a bold move that really works. Love your show, Angela! 👆🏼

Thanks Angela for your smile, energy and sharing your talent. Love your videos. Love your quilts!

I agree

Pieced backs are so much fun to create.

The Cheeto was priceless. 😁

Beautiful quilt but man so many blocks! Love your work as always, I also love to do a pieced back it is a great way to use up left over fabric and blocks ❤️

You did a great job! That looks pretty hard. I love flannel backs, preferably all one fabric.

Love the colors..your quilts are beautiful

I love all backs especially ones you have quilted. Your great at anything you attempt.

I make pieced backs on 90% of my quilts!! Love them...2 quilts in one!

I love this quilt design, as well as the quilting! So many other quilts are on my bucket list, but I must squeeze this one in. I tend to use pieced backs. I find beautiful fabrics on sale that I think would be fabulous as backings and I buy 5-8 yards. But, I love using the wider width backings when I can find a good deal and a great print. Just one less seam to sew.

I like the piece backings. I’ve finished quilts that way, adds character to the quilt! 😁

Always pieced backings! :) I like to do a little something that resembles the top, but slightly different. Sometimes I end up liking the backs more! I always use a tiny swatch of each fabric in the binding too, as a fun little accent.

I have done both. Although a non-pieced backing is quicker and easier, I love the whole new dimension a pieced backing adds to the quilt. This quilt you made is gorgeous!

I like solid backs, but you might convince me to try pieced ones again using your method! I like how scrappy this quilt looks using these beautiful fabrics. I love the border quilting. Thanks for all your quilty inspiration!

I am an avid watcher of your tutorials! I'm just starting to quilt some of my quilts!! Scarry! You make it look easy so I'll try it. I have learned lots from all of your shows. I also have loved making a pieced back which makes it so much more interesting! Thanks for all your KZreads.

I took a free motion quilting class & we used 3 layers or hoid quality paper towels to practice on. Just keep practicing.

Pieced backgrounds are my favourite!!!

OMG! the way you sew these motifs on the quilt is freaking awesome!

I pieced the back of my son's airplane quilt. I used a map fabric as the center and had a grunge split on each side. Loved how it came out!!

I don’t have a preference for which type of backing yet...each has its own merit. Wow there are sooo many points to this design!! The ombré fabric is pretty in this quilt. Now to click on link to see what backing you chose.

I love this quilt! I'm piecing the bigger star squares now. This is a tough quilt with a lot of pieces.

I've only done solid backs (or large strips sewn together to make them wide enough)sometimes out of sheer laziness, but mostly just wanting to get done and get to the next project. I've watched all your videos and love 'em, but honestly I still get sweaty palms seeing a wine glass on a sewing table. I'd accidentally knock that sucker over in a heartbeat. :)

Definitely pieced backs for me. One of my favorites was actually an accident, where a quilt block did not come out exactly the way I wanted. So, I decided to use it on the back. The result was beautiful.

I love pieced backings!! It makes a "normal" quilt a little more versatile (as you can flip it over). I know it takes a little more time, but I don't mind. It also helps get rid of fabric you want to get rid of! I hate buying 6-7 yards of fabric just for a backing... it seems like a huge waste. I've started buying vintage sheets to use for backings, and that helps defer cost, too. Loved this twinkly quilt, Angela! No one cares about those points when your quilting looks as fantastic as it does. I'm definitely going to take that free class on backings.

What a beautiful quilt! I prefer a solid back but have used pieced backs on baby quilts and wall hangings.

I love pieced backings! I use the seams to add in some selvedges with the fabric name and maker on them, plus I’ll add the color charts on the selvedge if it’s cute- like Tula Pink’s.

Great quilting, as usual, Angela. I like the ease of the wide backings (but love the look of the pieced backs, especially modern ones. It's like getting two quilts in one). ~Diana from Toronto

I like the solid back because you don’t have to worry if the piecing is straight or not and also no seam to have to go over. The top has enough seems to fight.

I'm a new quilter so I haven't tried a pieced back as of yet. I love the look so maybe in my future. 😃

I usually have pieced backs unless I remember to buy the larger one piece backing. Love your videos. Thanks

That's pretty I can stay up passed Midnight watching you, you are so good, love your work and you make it so fun and funny.

I really love a pieced back, but almost always shoot for a wide back because by that point I’m ready to get it quilted! 👍

I love pieced backs. I like reflecting the front on the back. Sometimes if my back turns out to be quite elaborate, I convert it into a second top!

ALWAYS piece my backs to use up ALL the fabrics... it's my pet project this year! GB

Both....I love to piece and use solid backing on my quilts....I so love your videos....

I like both! The one pieced back that I have done is so pretty. I almost like it more than the top. But not quite. Solid backs go together much quicker though, and sometimes I just want to get the quilt done.

This is lovely! And I’m a pieced back kind of girl. Doing so much work for the quilt tops, it seems silly to me not to put in some extra work on the back. I just do more minimalistic backs.

I love this quilt and all your videos. Sometimes I do pieced backs and sometimes I don"t. It depends on the stash.

Love piecing the back...kinda like getting 2 quilts in 1!!

Pieced backing!!! Makes both sides interesting. Uses up some of the leftovers from that particular fabric collection. Helps make up space when you may not have enough fabric for the backing.

Thank you Angela for another great video. I love the backing. Never try it. I will now.

Another beautiful quilt, Angela! You rock.

Absolutely gorgeous - your machine quilting has inspired me to make this quilt and do this pattern by hand - it will be beautiful - thank you!

Pieced!!! My favorite- Love your show!!

Hi, to piece or not to piece....hmmm. It depends on the style and “feel” of the quilt. A scrap quilt with a pieced back is great! I’ve used leftover design blocks on the back of a modern quilt, too. Solid backings work well on lap or baby quilts. It all depends on the quilt, for me anyway! Love your show! Thank you!

Pieced back for sure! Dips into my stash so I can buy more! 😘

Pieced backing for sure! Any extra fabrics left over can be incorporated. Sometimes my backs are nicer than the fronts, what a bonus to have a two sided quilt!

I agree totally

108 inch solid back ... works best for me .... I love all the extras left overs that end up in other projects.

Love this Quilt, I like pieced backs it let’s you be creative using your Stash ❤️😃

I love pieced backing. Another great video!

You are so talented as always and thank you so much! I always learn new things!

I like a backing with one fabric. I only use pieced if I am desperate. The quilt pattern is pretty 😀

Beautiful! Love the colors and the quilting!

Such a pretty quilt, I have liked every quilt you make from ombre fabric. Guess I'll have to break down a purchase some (even tho i have two rooms full of fabric). Pieced vs whole backs...... depends on the quilt !

Fabulous quilt! I try and do pieced backs on all my quilts!

OMG. Stunning pattern

I like a pieced back. I love this quilt!

I really like pieced backing. It gives you a chance to use up left over scraps (and a reason to buy new fabric)

Love this video!!! Pieced back for sure!

I like the pieced backing. I’m making my first quilt and i think i will use it for my backing.

I mostly do solid backing but I love the pieced backings.

I have done a ton of pieced backs as it a great way to use all that fabric I no longer love. Sometimes I use scraps from the front, other times I don't. I sometimes make giant blocks, other times total improv. It always adds a fun surprise to the back.

love the dog in your picture, by the way I always do a pieced back. Some backing have been totally made from old scraps

I like them both depends on what I'm quiltinq, and the fabric I have on hand!

I always make a pieced back, so the quilt essentially has two fronts...many times I choose vibrant colors for one side and subtle colors for the other side, for two entirely different looks. As far as keeping it straight for quilting, I spray baste and pin, and sew/baste one side to the batting before adding the other side. It works great!

I loved pieced backed quilts!

Definetly solid back!!

I prefer a solid back. A pieces back is like having two quilts in one when you could have two whole quilts 🤔🤔🤔 I loved that extra video, though! I can’t get enough of the midnight quilt show!! ❤️

I think it depends on the quilt whether it gets a pieced back or a solid back. I've done both and I think looking at the pieced backs make me smile more than the solid ones.

Lol mid night quilt show with the sunshine...i love your videos and helping me learn to fmq...😎😎😎

Omg this is beautiful one of my favorites

I always piece my backs! Sometimes it's two quilts in one.

I loved pieced backs. ☺️

Angela, another great show. I love how you don’t strive for perfection. Matching points drives me looney tunes. I use a pieced back when have a lot of scraps left over from a project. I like how they add a different look to the quilt. I mostly use solid backs as I don’t have an extensive stash. Do you quilt the MQS quilts on your home machine or do you finish them on your long arm?

Id love to see MORE about how to quilt on your machine. How do I get started and how to move it and all the basic stuff.

I have done both and love your show. Keep teaching

I have never done a pieced back. I'm going to have to try it on my next quilt!

This design is awesome....

Thanks for a great quilting design. Think I will use it on my next quilt. Also liked the pieced backing video. Always a pleasure to watch.

I love this quilt, very pretty, I am going to make this one in the future.

Angela another great video, what a cool pattern!
