Backing for Dresden Flowers & Flutters

 Today I finished appliquéing the Dresden Plate flowers and the butterflies to the quilt background.  I didn't have a piece of fabric large enough for the backing, so I pulled out two pieces, a dark mauve with tiny dark cream flowers and a pink batik with teal, purple, and cream swirls, and set about combining them into a piece that would wind up approximately the correct size.  I've used up nearly all of both fabrics.  The third and fourth pictures are views from the window in the north-facing dormer in my quilting studio this rainy day.
