I have yet to make a quilt with a boring backing. When I first started I had trouble with some of the established quilters in the area - telling me I was doing it all wrong! I just chose to ignore them and did it my way. By doing the back differently - it makes the quilt more user friendly if you like. because it can be reversed - or when folded back you get a glimpse of something new and unusual. Keep at it!
Granted I've only made a handful over the past 3 years - I'm really new at it. I guess I've made 6 baby quilts for gifts and 5 queen/king size quilts as well. Goodness I really have found something I love to do. :lol:

All are terrific, but I esp. like the names.
I have a couple that I pieced the back, like a strip of drunkard's path and a couple of log cabins and then big blocks of color. It is a bonus.
I don't like plain backs anymore. At the very least I piece the name plate.
