dont go for just anything. if you go to sewbatik.com you can find some really nice backings for it in similar colors. I would suggest doing that. Many times we just want to finish fast and don't take the time on getting a backing that goes with the front. just to get it done. but that is just me. I am a little ocd when it comes to my quilts. i have one that i have been working on for about 3 years now. it took me a long time to pick out the backing fabric and Im still now totally happy with it yet.
