Backing- Do you piece your backing or use the larger widths?

I have done both, but especially like using packed prints, bc it hides stitching. I do want my back to have colors like front.
Will be piecing in future for larger bed quilts, bc I am learning how to quilt in sections. (book by marti mitchell). I have fibro. and I think this will definitely be better for me.
It's a great book for those interested. Easier than you would think. If you like lap or baby size quilts, It's just like making four or whatever, (she has about 6 different ways to choose from), and putting them together. C

i wait until joann's has a 50% off coupon then i buy their $9.95 wide backing.
it has the feel of a really nice soft muslin, is printed in several colors, and at 1/2 price and no shipping, i don't think it can be beat.

I also use that coupon on a quilt book I have been wanting or a large quantitiy of rolled batting.
another great idea. i have used it on books before, but batting and backing are fixin to be a lot more accessible to me now! :-)
