A Little BR And More Dr. Seuss

I got all my blocks done and sewn together for my Bottled Rainbows!
I think I've decided to put it on my guest bed instead of my own bedroom. I had already planned on using my Carpenter Wheels for my bedroom so this works out great for the guest bedroom. I'm still going to add a border to make sure it has good length on it.
I finally pulled out the fabric I bought for the backing and found an issue.
The first thing is that I planned on running it one direction but it's directional the other way. Then when I fully unfolded it, I found this.
This was an "end of the bolt" I bought that was 5 yards. About 3/4 of the way down, I find this area where the fabric had been sewn together. It's not too pretty in real life because it looks like it's trying to pull apart, so I guess I'm going to be working around it.

A little Dr. Seuss 'sign' I love is making it's way around Facebook. It's called "5 Lessons from Dr. Seuss.

I'm thinking about trying to make it into an embroidery picture. I love number 5.

Your BR looks great, Melinda! Wow! What about doing a pieced back with that back and some solids or maybe a giant BR block with that as the focus fabric for the back? Just some thoughts. LOVE that Dr. Seuss poster! I'll be printing it out for my kids for sure.
