I do not want to buy all new material for the backing because it is queen size and it would be to expensive. I am about 1 1/2 yards short. Would it look bad to use 2 different fabrics for the back?

I do it all the time. Cut your material into 3's. Find a color that will look good with what you have and put it in the middle. I never do the same fabric on my backing. It will work.
