Yup, me too. It can be hard enough handquilting through front seams and I know I alway curse the seam in the back because I have never used extra wide fabric so always end up with at least one. So I have never pieced a back. I do have one WIP that I did do some very simple piecing that is destined for the lap hoop. I guess I will find out how much I regret that decision when I start quilting it.
