I often use sheets for backing. I get them at the thrift store, in the full set if possible, then I can use the bottom sheet in the piecing of the top, and the flat sheet for the backing. That way, the backing always picks up a color in the pieced top. On half price day, I can usually get the full sheet set for around three dollars.
