Cattitude I laughed and agreed with what you said about Jenny's tutorials when she is talking about the backing. I too care what the back looks like and while I am inclined to be really matchy-matchy, keeping the cost of the backing down trumps my desire for the perfect backing fabric. Lately I have been finding the backing first out of my stash, then choosing fabrics for the top that will be compatible. Otherwise I do tried to find something as close as possible out of my stash, but if I don't have anything I try to find clearance fabric for the back. My goal is to keep backing fabric no more than $20. Not always doable, but again, it's the goal.
