The backing is gray. I cut 2 backing pieces 7"x 33" (the length on the quilt) and 2 pink pieces 6"x33". I then took a pink piece and turned it right side to the top of the quilt and a backing piece right side to the back of the quilt and sewed both pieces to the edge, lengthwise. I did the same thing on the opposite side. I then measured my width of my quilt and cut my backing 7"x 41 1/2" and my pink 6"x 41 1/2" (the width of the quilt with the side borders added) and sewed the bottom piece of the border the same way. The top border piece is cut and will be embroidered/appliquéd and will be added the same way.
Once I sewed my pieces on, I pressed my backing out flat and added my batting in, using a basting spray, and then pressed my pink border on top of that and pinned and trimmed the batting flush with the pink border piece, leaving a 1 inch piece of backing showing. This will be folded over to the front to create my binding.

Clear as mud????
