I am particular about my backings, however, I have learned never buy backing and sometimes even borders until the quilt is finished and take the quilt with me. I have bought as many as three borders for mone quilt. I know that is part of the reason my stash is big. I do try to get a backing that coordinates with the front in some way. It doesnt have to be exact same colors. I was glad I got over having to use something in the quilt as backing. Goodluck on finding the right fabrics.
