Frankly, unless I know it’s going to be in a show I don’t give a horses patoot what the backing looks like. Our ancestors didn’t have wide backing, they pieced them. Nobody judged them for it. Why are we judging people who do it nowadays? Just because wide backing is available in this day and age doesn’t mean your quilt is “ruined” if you don’t use it. “Hodge podge” on, people!
