Need Suggestions Please
 

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?

I'm seeing the lime green. Lovely quilt top!

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.

Teal and brown would be my choice. Beautiful quilt!

Maybe use a print flannel that is a puppy theme.

Teal or chocolate brown would be my suggestion.

Cute quilt. I would go for a print because it will hide any dirt and stains that happen on a baby quilt.

I like to use prints for my backings. If not a print, then I'd go with the chocolate brown or teal.

The lime green would be lovely. I like to use a completely different backing so there is a surprise when the quilt is turned over. You could also piece together scraps and then us a solid like the lime green to complete the backing.

I would use the teal/turquoise but often those brighter colors are more difficult to find. Just take the quilt in to the shop with you and find what pleases your eye! Besides, you will get lots of helpers offering their opinion! :)

Yellow or the aqua in the quilt top. I agree a print can make it a nice, reversable quilt.

I would stay away from the dark brown. The blue, yellow, green etc would be great. You might luck out and find a nice flannel print that incorporates several of the colors

Great quilt! I agree with all of the above suggestions for the backing.

i'm thinking bright sunny yellow! but that's one of my favorite colors! very nice quilt!

The green popped out at me when I looked at the quilt, but you could probably use the brown or teal, too. Why not see which of the flannel colors you can match closest to the top.

I also like the lime green - and your quilt is beautiful!

I agree that any color that matches the front could be used on the back. The joy of a quilt is that it gets used.

I agree the lime green would be nice for the back and use some of the leftovers from the top to do a scrappy binding... :)

Oh by all means use minky! baby's love the feel of minky.

If it were mine, I'd do a lime green back with a yellow binding.

No idea's on the backing, just that the top is so cute!
