LOL - - can you tell that I watch a LOT of TV? <G>
The voice of experience trumps what I have "heard", in my humble opinion.

My 2 cents ....if it matters...my sister-in-law did a quilt that took the purple ribbon at a fair (over all best of show) and she had blocks that matched the front of the quilt but also the remaining was strips that went horizontally. Hope that someone could use this. It is what I plan to do with my next quilt since sil won overall :)

On quiltville.com, Bonnie Hunter describes how she keeps a supply of 10.5" squares for backings. For her, it is an easy way to measure how large to piece the backing when the blocks measure 10" after seaming.

Many of her quilt backings are pieced this way, but she also uses larger rectangles and leftover blocks.
