So, what do you do and why? Do you do both, depending upon the purpose?
Eddie,
I have done all of my backs with something that coordinates with the front. I have never used a white backing. I am wondering if that is something strictly done for show pieces? I would fear using a white backing as all of my quilts are loved and used by someone and white does not last too well.
