I'm not too fussy about backing fabric--R U?

I can see where a full matching back is practical too.
Guess it just depends on the quilt.

I've been reading the entries about fussy backing--I guess I've been brought up different--my grandmother and mother always thought me to cordinate the back with a plain fabric (usually) to show off the stitching that you worked so hard at. I have never pieced the back of a quilt and never intend to, to any of my future quilts. But if that is what you fellow quilters want to do then go ahead. As for me and the ladies I quilt with we always are looking at the backs of our quilts.

Being fairly new to quilting, I use coordinating fabric for the back. After reading all of your posts, I'm going to use the leftover fabric from the front somehow on the back. This is a really good idea since I always have fabric left from the front.
