Usually, I use what's left over from the front, and try to keep the grains going the same direction. I've used a wide back only once (before I had a long arm). I had a hard time keeping it straight when pin basting. Did quilt one on the long arm-no problems. Over time some wall quilts sag. To hopefully prevent that I use the straight of grain up and down and quilt ~ every 2 inchs.
