You betcha! Almost all of my quilt backs are pieced - I like 'em better that way! LOL I love your batiks on the flip side!

I love your little mug rug. I don't think I have ever pieced a back but I may have to give it a try one of these days. I guess I just can't figure it out so that is looks perfect. A control issue.

Cute mug and mug rug! As a matter of fact, I don't typically piece my backs ... and blogged about the first one I did piece just recently. I did enjoy it!! But I did think it out pretty thoroughly, too. LOL! :)

Very cute!! I love doing the spiral machine quilting - it always looks good!! Tell Nana not to spill on this one!!!:>)

I have never pieced a quilt back, I get the fronts wonky enough with out "wonkying" the back.....lol Love the oatmeal mat and i love oatmeal. TJ don't like it, he's weird anyway.

I like calling it an "Oatmeal Mat" better than mug rug. I like to piece my quilt backs. Although, I don't do any elaborate piecing on the back, I think it adds an element of fun and surprise to a quilt.

I love your Nana's oatmeal mat, and after seeing the back she might consider that to be the new "front". I only piece my backs if I don't have a large enough piece of fabric to fit. Then, when I do piece them... I try to toss some of my non-pretty fabric in the mix.

I think you should make me one. When you reach 300 followers. Just saying!

I love it!! And love that she named it too!!

I generally don't piece backs - by that point, I just want to be done!

Your Nana's Oatmeal Mat is gorgeous!

I like to piece quilt backs because I never know what I will get. Fun! If it doesn't look conventional, I call it artistic
license. I like both sides of the oatmeal mat!

I have gotten lazy and use wide fabric backs, but my Mom always pieced the backs of her quilts - you're right they're really pretty - sometimes more than the front.

You are such a good guy and that's a great little mat of Nana!!!

I've pieced a fair number of backs, but mine aren't as elaborately pieced as the ones you've done! As for the oatmeal / mug mat, I would use the same side the Nana would use!!! LOL

I love pieced backs.
