Need Help! Do you ever piece the backing?

Almost always pieced!!! I posted this a while back. There are some great ideas here.

I like to make the back as interesting as the front and one way is if I don't have enough of the backing fabric, I lay it diagonally and add contrasting triangles. I think it works nicely for kids' quilts.

I also use the diagonal piece -- if I am doing a small quilt and have enough lenght in my fabric piece. I use the John Flynn method and I have been very happy with the results. I have done this with small prints and larger prints and really like it. Ihave not done it with larger quilts -- though I may have to do it for my son's quilt since the back I want is 90" wide and the quilt is 110" wide.

My problem is I drive myself nuts trying to keep the back seams away from the front, this works better for me.

Craftsy has a free class on creative quilt backs. Might be an opportunity to see if you like their classes before you purchase one, but don't know if you have to be a member or not. I've been pleased with the ones I've taken...
