I did have a large piece of off-white fabric cut off from a backing, to use here. Wow these borders take a lot of fabric! I have used up the large piece and I have dug into my mound of cut off backing and batting to find another large-ish piece. And I did find such a piece. Good for me for saving wide backing, because all the quilt and fabric shops are closed.
This quilt will be 6 blocks by 6 blocks and turned out a bit bigger than I originally anticipated. Here is a close up of a few blocks sewn together:
I can see some of my collection of feedsack fabrics and other vintage fabrics.

Great looking Film at Five!
Wow! You've made really good progress. Your quilt is coming along beautifully!
What a great scrap busting project.
You are making great progress!
What a wonderful use of scraps and that film sprocket sashing is fabulous! An Academy Award winner!
I love watching this evolve into a full quilt. It always amazes me how much fabric is involved in the making. Thank you for linking up to Put your foot down.
Such a pretty quilt, the borders make it especially so.
