I am doing some finishing up. Often these tasks such as wadding and backs, binding, labels and hanging sleeves are the "housework" of quilt making but piecing an insert for my not wide enough backing fabric was engrossing and creative. If I had had more of the plain bright white I'd have some more cutting up. Anyway I sewed and joined 2 rows of 7" Drunkard's Path blocks cut a same size piece of plain white and laid on top and then sliced into wedges and alternated cup up blocks with white. You can see these sewn units at the top and bottom of my improv. piece.
The final backing has a cobbled together look thanks to a lack of fabric though ironically once done I found some more bright white material. Grrr .
