If you can get them on sale at a great price it is the thing to do. I tend to do a lot of things in cool colors and have made more than a few quilts lately so I have a collection of "backs" that I purchased for from $1 to $5 per yard, most of them in the 1.69-2.00 range. I always make sure it is a good quality fabric, there are a lot out there I wouldn't purchase because I don't want the fading or falling apart that I have experienced in the past. I just can see spending $50 to $80 for the back of a quilt. So what if they don't match perfectly!!!
