We have backing

We made it into town today and Ikea came up trumps for us. Their by-the-metre fabric didn't really have anything I liked but Rob spotted a super bedset which looked to be just the thing. It has nothing in common with the front but I really don't think it matters - it's fun and 'kiddy' and worked out to about £1.50/m so I love it.

I did all the seam removal and ironing and now it's ready to go - it's a nice coarse weave so I don't think the machine is going to mind it and I have loads left for other projects too. I must add Ikea to my list of shops to visit for bargains.
