One idea for a back that I really liked was slashing a plain fabric diagonally (not corner to corner, but somewhere in-between) and inserting a pieced strip. Added a lot of pizzaz, and you could use your scraps for the pieced strip.
The only problem is that I only have enough of those ugly brown, tan, ivory pieces. Maybe they won't be blah and ugly if there is a scrappy strip. Good idea! Thanks, think I will try that. If I make the border from one of those from the collection, I will have to piece it because the pieces aren't long enough. Oh, well, lunch and get busy. Thanks for the help everyone!
