I was the quilter who did not have a large enough back on mine, nor anymore of the home tea stained, backing fabric, I wanted on it. She suggested just purchasing a piece of fabric in the right color, even if it has a tone on tone print. I added a pieced strip to each side, and she was able to center the backing so it looks intentional. She told me to call it a “design decision”. Lol. No one has ever asked about it.
