Hello, I made this baby boy quilt for a co-worker and I can't decide what backing to apply. I was thinking of using a flannel on the back but having a hard time with what color. Any suggestions?

Very nice quilt. Since you are making it for a boy I would chose one of your shades of blue, flannel makes a very cozy quilt.

I would go with the teal or brown for the back. Cute quilt!! If you have enough fabric left over make a couple of extra blocks and piece them onto the back fabric!

Gosh, you can pretty much pick any of the colors in it. It's lovely by the way.

Why pick just one? if you have leftovers from the top it could tie in nicely as a scrappy border!

I like teal or brown for the back also. And then bind in the opposite color.

I always prefer to choose a print that is busy for the back since then if you are quilting it by machine, then any tiny mistakes won't show. Find something that will compliment with the fabrics you used in the quilt top. You did a very good job, the top is very cute. Great selections of the fabric used.

Maybe use a print flannel that is a puppy theme.
