"Pieces big enough for backs" is always an effort and is my most wanted to find at the thrift stores. I will use just about anything with enough yards for a back. Sometimes I let the backing fabric help select the colors from the top.
Pictures below include one of my solutions for how to make a back out of two very different 3 yard pieces.
Often, they are large scaled novelty prints such as the bike or fish.
The bolt of the green/red/yellow will make probably at least 3-4 backs and cost me about $15...
And sometimes they are just a bit funky -- like this one that looks much better in black light!
