Remember, he's the one making his own guitar 
Hubby came to the rescue again, taking me to the fabric store to get something for the backing, after my colonoscopy! LOL He said no. I said Yes. He said, no. Guess who won. :o) {thanks Hubby}. I still cannot believe how well the backing goes with the quilt. 
I bought the guitar, stripe and one of the dots from one of my favorite Etsy Sellers {daffodilhill} earlier this year. 
It was much fun to make. Again there was no pattern. I just kept sewing as I went. 
The sashing is a Kona Cotton. Off white in color. And it ended up being just a bit bigger than a twin size.

Love the quilting on this one. Great colors!!!
It's beautiful, Jodi! That backing is just perfect.
I'm making my 20 yr old son a quilt with the exact same guitar fabric!:) I'm using this Alexander Henry 2-D Zoo fabric for the back...I showed him the pin-basted quilt and he loves it. Now I need to finish it!;)
I love that one! The guitar fabric is just PERFECT! :-D)
What a great quilt! The backing looks fabulous! :o)

I like the horizontal lines you quilted and the blocks, too.
A match made in heaven - your husband should not complain because he is so good in pairing fabrics. By the way, I love your quilts - simple horizontal quilting which I have not attempted yet.
Wow.. I love it. Absolutely beautiful!
Hey those came out really great. Love the guitar fabric.
Another super quilt. Sometimes the best ones are the ones without a plan, or so I am discovering.
It looks fantastic. And I really can't wait to see what that guitar looks like when it's done! Amazing!
Love the guitars! Could it be any more personal than that? The quilt design is perfect, reminds me of the strings. Keep 'em comin'!
