I learned that my favorite way to finish these is to have a nice thick border or two of the original fabric, and then to back the quilts with the original fabric as well. It gives a great frame of reference for what happened to the fabric in the process. The black and white one was a zebra print. I didn't buy enough to make borders, so that was a mistake on that one. If I remember correctly, I bought the fabric in the bargain bin for $2 per yard, and just bought the whole length of what they had.
