I don't think they have to match........ If it's a scrap quilt I like to make the back scrappy too. Sometimes a plain fabric works well in showing off the quilting.
Just my openion.............. don't believe there is a right or worng.

I do match the binding and try to coordinate a bit with the backing.
About chairity quilts::::: someone is always misguided if they think the recepient really cares about matching backs...
My story is a group that wouldn't pay the part of postage for a box of fabric because some of the fabric were blends and they only used cotton. Now this was a group in south Florida. So they paid only for the portion that was cotton. They didn't get any more fabric from me.

Depends, if I can get enough of the matching fabric, yes. If not no. I have been making scrap quilts and I use what ever looks good with the quilt.
My goal in 2011 is to use up as much of my stash that I can. I am "allowed" to buy the four B's...backing, border, background, batting.
