Backing fabric question
I am considering using a smallish check for the backing on a quilt. Possibly a regular gingham or a gingham on point (little diamonds). How difficult is it to keep the pattern squared up. My skills are intermediate, but I have never attempted this before. I have always used an all over print. What have your experiences been?

I think it will look great! I used a stripe on one of my backs and it is one of my favorites. Just do the best you can in keeping it straight and don't fret if it is a little off. The smaller the gingham print the less it will show if it is a little off.

Noone cares if it isn't absolutely straight.
At least no one except (maybe) you.
And no one will be paying attention, if they are in your bedroom or house as I'm sure they will be focusing on the front.
