Your choice!
For me, preferably some of the backing fabric is used in the front.
Or at the least, something that coordinates with the front.
That might be as simple as go-with fabric colours/prints.
Or possibly a print that goes with the theme of the front.
But that's my personal preference. Do what works best for you.

i have started using muslin to back just about everything.
it goes with anything.
a really nice quality muslin is much less expensive that the lowest quality [wide] backing fabric.

I have friends that use whatever on the back. But to me, that's the same as having an ugly mattress cover. I see it when I change the sheets. So I like to have something pretty on the back. I love to use extra blocks in a column to make up the needed extra width.
