I think money is a factor for a lot of people, especially these days and I would never want people to feel bad about their beautiful quilts because they had to piece a back! If it’s a choice between putting extra into the top or not being able to quilt at all, I say, “PIECE AWAY!”
i purposely piece the back of scrappy quilts. I also piece the borders of scrappy quilts with different fabrics and I make extra bias binding with every quilt and piece those together for scrappy, binding, too.
