If you've ever wanted to make the back of your quilts just as special and interesting as the front, this is the ultimate guide for you!

Focusing on an important element of quilting that few books discuss in any detail, Perfectly Pieced Quilt Backs is the go-to source on the topic of quilt backs that every quilter will want in their library. With a total of 30 pieced quilt backing designs using scraps of varying sizes, your fabric stash, or new yardage, you'll get inspired and take your quilts to the next level in a unique, quick, and easy way!

15 of the quilt back projects use your scraps and leftovers, with five projects each for small, medium, and large or mixed-size scraps. The other 15 projects use stash and yardage, with seven projects calling for two or three fabrics and eight projects needing four or more fabrics. No matter what your stash looks like, these scrappy quilt projects will help you bust it!

These 152 pages feature helpful sections on quilt back basics, guidance on basting, how to finish a quilt, and measurements and instructions for three quilt sizes — lap quilts, twin XL quilts, and queen-size quilts — for each design. A bonus of 18 downloadable quilt front patterns that coordinate with all 30 back designs is also included. Colorful, fun, and perfect for quilters of all skill levels — including new quilters wanting to build their skill set — this must-have quilt book is an excellent source of inspiration to try something new and make your projects more interesting!

Author Kelly Young is a quilter, pattern designer, and quilt teacher who is just as known for the backs of her quilts as she is for the front. Nearly every quilt in her collection is finished with a pieced backing, lending an unexpected design element to the flip side, making her the perfect mentor in the industry to learn from!

The back of your quilt deserves to be just as beautiful as the front, and Perfectly Pieced Quilt Backs will help you make that happen!
