What is your opion on the backing fabric always matching the front of the quilt?

I rarely do that!!!

Mine don't match; I choose what I like and it feels like two different quilts sometimes.

Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. I usually try to color coordinate them. Sometimes it is wide backing, sometimes leftover pieces from quilt. I really do not like piecing backing though, so I do as little as possible.

Thanks that is my opinon as well, someone in my quilt club always insists when we are making charity quilts that we find fabric to go with the front. I say it is more interesting if they don't match.

sometimes but not always.

I would either stick to the theme of the front or choose a similar color or go complete left field and choose something that is pretty in my eyes.

oh my suck detail for chairity quilts........what difference does it make if the back matches. I don't put ugly fabric on the backs but something that would not be really out of place.
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.

that should have been "oh my such" and not suck. My fingers are not doing the walking right tonight.

I guess I sewed coordinated clothing outfits & home decor for too many years, because I have to have the back coordinate & match the front. lol
