Backgrounds of Art Quilts

I will be the first to admit when I first started making art quilts, I was so focused on what 3D embellishments I was putting on my background that I never even touched it.   There are many an early quilt in which the background is literally a piece of fabric!  

While I am not an expert in the design of backgrounds, I am at the very least more conscientious about it now.

Today, I decided to just go a little crazy  and  take some jelly roll strips and see where it led me.

How is that for a walk on the wild side of backgrounds?
