Default How Do You Decide On Backing Fabric?

I'm making a disappearing hourglass in black and white and I'm having the hardest time trying to decide on a backing fabric. I usually buy a solid coordinating fabric and piece the back with blocks used in the top but I thought I might want to do something different for this quilt and pick a pretty fabric without piecing it. I've done several searches, but I'm having a hard time deciding on a fabric.

Do you coordinate your backing fabric with the top and buy it when you are buying your material for the top or do you wait until your top is done before deciding on a backing fabric?
