But it is just another opinion, if it doesn't feel right to you. Than it is not right. That is the main thing.

exactly what I thought! and i definitely agree the back does not need to match the top and I like what you have chosen!

That fabric is great. I like TEACUP's idea of using the short fabric as a border on the back. In a minute or two you can have a double-sided quilt.

Beth, I think your quilt is great! Regarding the back, just piece the thing! I am a firm believer in making the back as interesting as the front. Google "quilt back" and you'll see some good examples. I'll be happy to send you some pics of backs I've made and some I've collected if you want

I love the fabric choices you made! It is showing up dark on my screen( is it green and brown?) maybe you could use a darker brown to bind it.Go for new backing, I think it will add to an already gorgeous quilt.
