In my advanced years and limited 3 years of quilting, I decided that the back of every quilt would be as interesting as the front so that I could just flip flop them if I wanted to do so. So, I always make the backs as much fun as the front. Here is my patriotic quilt that I got the basic quilt from Connecting Threads and then did my own thing with it. Maybe this will help. I have patch-worked the backs, designed backs with left over blocks from the fronts, made a totally different quilt on the back, husband wanted fleece on one of his OSU quilts so it is soft and wonderful and fluffy. The back of this one was two major pieces of backing with a beautiful row of left over stars that I had fussy cut for the blocks on the front of the quilt.
