It depends on how much fabric I have left. Sometimes I just choose something that will "go" with it. One quilt will have a autumn theme and the back will be summery so I can change it over sometimes. Usually I have a simple print, or tone on tone for the back.

Mine dont always match, but I do like the back to be attractive,even if it is pieced.

Scissor Queen

Mine rarely match. I like a surprise on the backs of my quilts.

Depending on the look I want for the quilt I rarely do it.

I sometimes use an old sheet - white cotton for the back of mine and applique some of the fabric used on the front onto it. I might even add a piano keys border to pull it all together. Generally though I don't fret over matching backs and fronts. Oftentimes money is an issue.

I use whatever I've got that blends well with it. I match the binding to both usually. Most times when I have to piece the back, I do add something decorative to spice it up a bit. Extra blocks, a framed strip of fabric with the recipient's name, etc.

I use 'whatever works'- sometimes it matches sometimes it contrasts but I do try to coordinate the binding.

I try to match the back, but if not, I like it to be attractive and a close match to the binding.

It depends---on lots of variables. The first one being the health and well being of my checkbook, the second being my stash and the third being the quilt that I'm working on. When I did my Wizard of Oz quilt it had W of O fabric on the back too. I'm making one for a late cousin's wife out of blocks and fabric that her late sister made and it's not going to match at all but it will be Pat's fabric so it will be okay and Mickey will love it.
