    It's crazy wild. Neat quilt.

    I would use a calmer backing such as the green or the med. blue.

    Scrappy backing is essentially another quilt top, the same size as the front....you can piece it quickly with big pieces or even make a reversible quilt with two "nice" sides. Remember what color you're binding the "good" side with and make sure it matches/coordinates with the back.

    Wild it is...but wonderful! I made one like that but put thin black strips between the colors, making it not only wild but stained glass looking. I guess for a wild church! Keep on doing "wild", you've got a feel for it.
