Almost all of the quilts I've made in the last couple of years have pieced backings made with various fabrics from my stash. This is the back of a quilt that I blogged about a few weeks ago, (you can see it here). The four fabrics in the center are actually all one fabric. There are no seams; the four patterns are printed horizontally on the same bolt of fabric, so there is the equivalent of one-quarter yard (11 inches by 36 inches) of each print in one yard off of the bolt. This piece had been sitting in my stash for several years, and I finally found a use for it.

I like pieced backs too. Even if they are "faux pieced". This was a perfect use for this particular fabric. I saw a similar one in a local fabric shop recently but I think the strips were narrower.
This post was so interesting. I've never seen fabric like that, but it's an intriguing idea. I often have to piece backs. I'll keep an eye out now!
