What color solid for the backing?

What color thread are you planning on quilting it with? If it was me I'd choose the cream color and quilt with that color thread as well.

Oeps, sorry I was talking about the binding, and now I see that you're asking about the backing............

Binding in brown sounds great to me, a bright backing is beautiful with the dark, I would go orange to match the brown.

I'd go orange, especially if you are binding with brown - love the fabric that you've used.

I love each color in the quilt but I think I would go with blue for the backing since the orange is unavailable.

Thanks everyone!

I hope to get my order placed and finish up the quilts soon!

And I probably will just stitch in the ditch since I am still learning and haven't had a chance to practice FMQ since I just got my darning foot right after my surgery.

Jackie at MSCO was so nice to help me match the colors! I am going with green, which is one of the teachers' fav color anyways. The green was the best match! I think it would look great with the brown binding too. So excited!

I would go with that cream color that is in so many of the strips.

I also think the light blue is good. You could also go neutral with an off white. : )

i like pink color more. you may use pink color.

I agree with calling the shop. Give them the name of the line of fabric or tell them where they can look at the quilt top here on-line so they can see it. They should easily be able to suggest which solid in their shop will match.
