I agree. I have done backings that in no way relate to the front and have been well pleased with the quilt. If I plan on going over the top with quilting, I will choose a solid back or something that reads solid so the quilting will show as the star and more often than not it is a solid wide muslin. I will also piece backings out of scraps and not necessarily use any fabrics I have used on the top. This quilt is a prime example of that. Here is the front:
