Love it! Great job with the paper piecing. I have a pattern something like these pines, but like a few of them, I haven't gotten around to starting it.

That looks great. If the regular batting doesn't show through, I don't see why you couldn't use that. For the backing, I just generally use whatever strikes me at the time!

I think you should forget you ever read that business about the backing color and just use whatever you want.

I have used drapery lining for the backing on a wall hanging and have also used a pants-weight cotton. This works if you are machine quilting, but wouldn't be good for hand quilting. The heavier weight of the backing makes the wall hanging hang nicely.
