Unless I'm limiting fabrics for a quilt to those from a specific collection, I love piecing my quilt backs with leftovers from the top, and if I run out, I raid my stash for fabrics that blend in to get the size needed. It's a great way to use up what you have and in doing so, gives you the perfect excuse to run out and buy new fabric!
If you piece your quilt back this way, using a 1/2" seam allowance pressed open should give you no problems during quilting.
