Yes, I agree. I have done this before and it looks terrfic. Do a search for some backs and get some new ideas...that what I did.
It's not so much the backing of the quilt as the background of the blocks (did that make sense?).

I think I will probably pick up another fabric to go with the one I have - although I will admit that I am hesitating as to which one that will be, the 'new' one has a tone that I might even like better. Then maybe do the sashing in both colors, matching the blocks to the sashing... Or do the sashing in a totally different color. *Puts thinking cap on*
