I buy fabric on sale for backings. Connecting Threads has good sale prices. I also shop M & L in Anaheim whenever I visit my daughter. Usually I don't have a particular quilt in mind so I get 5-6 yards in colors that go with stash fabrics. That's usually enough for the size quilts I make. If it's a bit short I'll piece the back. Sometimes I piece the backing using leftovers from the front. I choose a backing that coordinates with the front but might not necessarily "match." And since my FMQ isn't that great (yet) I like a busy print.
