Anna Maria Parry’s Backings No. 4 collection has officially arrived, bringing beautifully scaled prints, fluid florals, and rich yet balanced colour palettes designed to make the back of your quilt just as stunning as the front.
Known for her expressive style and thoughtful use of colour, Anna Maria Parry creates fabrics that feel artistic and intentional. This backing collection features large-scale motifs and harmonious tones that pair effortlessly with a wide variety of quilt tops — from bold patchwork to softer, modern layouts. The generous scale of these prints makes them especially impactful on the reverse side of quilts, reducing the need for excessive piecing while showcasing uninterrupted design.
Why Quilters Love a Statement Backing
A quilt backing isn’t simply functional — it completes the story of your project. With Backings No. 4, you can:
- Create a reversible quilt that looks beautiful from either side
- Highlight your quilting stitches against expressive prints
- Add depth and personality to an otherwise simple quilt top
These fabrics are also suitable for more than quilts. Consider them for duvet covers, wide quilt borders, or home décor projects where you want scale and movement in the design.
Helpful Tips for Working with Backings
- Plan your thread colour based on whether you want stitches to blend in or stand out.
- Take advantage of the wider fabric to minimize seams on larger quilts.
- Press carefully before layering to ensure a smooth quilting surface.
If you’ve been waiting for the perfect finishing touch for your next quilt, Anna Maria Parry’s Backings No. 4 collection is ready for you. Explore the collection now and discover how a thoughtfully chosen backing can transform your entire project.
