I guess I am strange-I use flannel-in any colour that does not clash with the front-as it is warmer for the charity quilts. However the 'real quilts' I bought from the Amish before I partook of the quilting bug have white and green. Love them both.
PS-I don't consider mine 'real quilts' as I start out one way and end up somewhere else-sort of like my driving-At least that is what my BFF says! I couldn't follow a pattern if my life depended on it!
