Quilt Backing...am I the only one?
#23
I hand quilt, so I prefer one piece backings, and buy 90 inch wide muslin so I don't have to deal with any seams on the back.
The only time I used a pieced backing, I was quilting a top for a friend. I hated dealing with the seams on the back as well as the front - plus she used some batiks on the back and front. It was tough getting through all that.

Have done both but my favorite is to back with a king sized sheet (I make B-I-G quilts). They come in such gorgeous patterns and colors and if I plan for a smaller quilt I use the edges of the sheet incorporating it into the quilt pattern on the front thus everything appears totally coordinated (kind of?). I so love this occupation ............
