GFG Table runner

I am in the process of doing a English Paper pieced GFG table runner and do not know how to do the back (when I get to that point). I do not want the flowers appliqued to another piece of fabric, I am not sure how to explain this but when it is finished I want just the English Paper pieced flowers showing, no other fabric. I have seen a picture of it done this way but do not know who the maker is, I have also seen it appliqued to other fabric with borders and this is not what I want either.…

Is there a way to save certain posts. There are times when someone gives a suggestion or has an idea and I would like to save it or at least mark it in someway.
Thanks

Thank you Judy for the warm welcome. Because of our military background our family is spread out. We were living in Albuquerque, NM. Our son was the only family living nearby. My daughter and our two granddaughters live in Oklahoma. I rarely saw them until we started traveling. Now I can see them once a year instead of every couple of years. The rest of our family is in Washington State, Illinois, and South Dakota.
