After making a a few projects....and they all looked the same..kind of...I decided to cut it up like I do when making a traditional quilt.

before I finished the edges...I sewed a backing fabric onto the back by quilting ..in the ditch...along the seam lines where I pieced it back together. Then I finished the edges.

after piecing it all together....before finishing the edges....choose a backing fabric the size of the piece...quilt the top and back together by quilting in the ditch as you would any other quilt...then you can finish the edges and VOILA....it is finished.

What a cool variation of this technique, impressive, flows so beautifully. I especially like the way you changed the shape of the origianl piece, adding your creative flair.
