Default wash fabric?

I just finished a very large top it turned out to be 130x 125, the person wanted a big quilt when on her bed it would go to the floor, more like a bed spread..

This is my question, I used jelly rolls and some yardage for the back ground on the quilt top. I did not wash any of the fabric for the top as I used jelly rolls and didn't think it would be a good idea to wash them.

I bought backing fabric from Jo Anns that was 108 wide so I just have to add one piece of fabric to the side to make it wide enough.The fabric was kind of a beige color with a white flower... After getting it home I noticed that the fabric felt really stiff, I am sure it has a lot of sizing in it. So do I wash it and if I do, will it be ok using a washed fabric for the back and fabric that has not been washed for the top..

Thanks
