I have a Civil War quilt that I am doing, and I found a bed sheet at the Goodwill store that is just like new (could be new) that I am using for backing on my quilt. I have used a lot of sheets for backing on my quilts. My mom used them also for many years.

Thank you all for your suggestions. They were all excellent. I looked at lots of backing fabrics and chose one from Fabric.com. It is a repro from Judi Rothermel (designer of lots of Civil War fabrics) and I think it is a perfect solution. It is tan background with small red/blue outlined flowers sort of swaying in the wind. The focus fabric on the top is a bluish red with light blue flowers accented with tan. I think it's going to look great!
