I like home dec fabrics for quilt backs, as well. I first learned of this idea in a class with Freddy Moran- many of her quilts have Marimekko backs. Heavier fabrics have a lovely drape, wash well, and the wider width is handy. Also, many of the home dec fabrics have a very pleasing overall pattern, and a quilt back is a nice way to show it off.

I adore home dec fabrics for handbags. With heavier weight home dec you can use less interfacing.

Thanks for the interview. Its always interesting to know what designers are thinking.
