Thanks, ladies, for the quick responses to my question. Since I didn't prewash the tops that I pieced, I have decided the best thing to do is to go buy new fabric for the backing of these two quilts. The quilts are for twin beds, and I don't think I am going to have the patience to ever make two quilts the same again, so I want these done well enough that I won't be upset when I wash them.

I will just head to Hobby Lobby with my 40% off coupon, check out Wal-Mart, and glide by Hancock's. Surely I can find some thing that I am pleased with.
