Project put on hold

I finished up this quilt top last week.

I wanted a simple yardage quilt top because I really like the Amy Butler tree fabric so I didn't want to cut it up into tiny pieces. I started piecing the back, but really didn't like it. I was piecing the scraps into squares and it ended up much too complicated to be sandwiched with the top.

I am putting this quilt on hold to start a different quilt that has a more pressing "gotta finish" because its "gotta" get to its new owner as soon as possible. This will give me some time to figure out what to do with the back. The picture is a bit dark, but isn't washed out: there isn't much contrast on the top. I'll probably add some deeper colors to the other side.
