She has been working in neutrals and especially black and white, so I chose a black and white FabMo upholstery fabric for the back. The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fabmo.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">FabMo<\/a> upholstery samples are a good size. I think you could make two smaller ones from one of the \u00a0samples.
