Playing With Jacks or Is It Bugs? January 21, 2012

I’m calling Playing With Jacks a top.  It measures 42″ x 55″  just right for a 9-year-old I think.  But admittedly, my backing fabric has played some part in this.

Yes, that’s Bugs Bunny.  I have just one length of this fabric, and since it’s an older fabric (from my mom’s stash) it’s actually a full 44″ wide.  Now to quilt it.  I’m thinking something basic — cross-hatching, but I’ve got to decide on the thread color.  I really don’t want red going through bugs, so I think I’ll see if I have a gray and if not, I’ll go with white on the bobbin.  I’ll probably go with red on the top, but I guess that will depend on what I find in my box of thread.
