on the backing issue:
the new jersey quiltfest showed several great quilts with backing made of pieces left over from the fronts. they were big chunks, not little bits, and they all matched the front. they were haphazard looking, not seemingly planned in any way, like frames or anything.

put as many as you can in just like a few said i think it depends on the judge that day and also i to have learned a few things from the comments they leave on the back of my tagged quilt
i have never heard of sewing your form on the back of your quilt , that is a new one to me at our state fair we are given a 2 piece ticket when we enter both tickets have a number the divsion and your name o them then the ticket stub is pinned on the binding of the quilt and you must have the stub to get your quilt back and we are asked that what ever we bring our quilt in to drop it off that we take it back home because as you check it in the ladies wearing gloves hang them up right then and there while you wait
