Just need to find a backing and figure out how to quilt this one. Can't wait to snuggle up under this quilt!

St. Louis 16-Patch
Been loving my St. Louis 16-Patch quilt blocks. They are so fun and quick to put together.
This might be one of my favorite blocks. Love those plums and navys:
Right now it sits at 5 block rows by 6 block rows, for a total of 30 blocks. This will make the quilt 70x84". Not sure if I want to make it any bigger.
They are currently stacked up next to my Bernina ready to sew together. Hopefully I can get her together this weekend!
Any suggestions for backing fabric?

Sometimes It Just Doesn't Quite Work Out How It Should In Your Head
I worked on these granny squares at CJ's Quilt Retreat in the spring. The squares themselves went together just fine, and then I'm not entirely sure what happened once I started getting the sashing on.
Okay, that's a bold-faced lie. I know exactly what happened...I got lazy. I was so anxious to get this top done and move on to my next project, I tried to cut corners (not literally of course!).
I don't HAVE to measure super carefully AND pin the sashing, right? It will be fine!
WRONG!
That is some MAJOR waving I've got going on. Seriously, this borders on ruffling! I'm not sure I could get that much waving if I tried! Sheesh! And it didn't look THAT bad until I put it up on the design wall and then I didn't even want to take a picture I wanted to take it down so bad...embarrassed =(
Once I unpack - WE ARE MOVING THIS WEEKEND! - this quilt is definitely going to require some quality unpicking time. Sounds like a great way to spend a few minutes in front of the TV post move.
Then I will return to good quilting habits and measure carefully and pin and THEN sew.

I have not had much (or any) time for quilting lately. I started a new job and have also been taking a couple classes on the side (including evil chemistry). But I did take some time to myself and finished up this quilt top for my niece who just turned 18 and will be graduating high school this spring.
This was made from a jelly roll - Fandango by Kate Spain for Moda. I can't wait to get it up on the quilting machine and see how it turns out.
