Suggestions for Picnic Quilt Backing?
Good afternoon quilters! I need some suggestions for a Washable quilt backing for a picnic quilt I'm making. I do not want to use blue denim because it won't coordinate with the quilt top which is in autumn colors with a yellow/gold inner border and binding and a large 8" purple outer border. (I used the Bittersweet fabric line by Nancy Halvorsen.) The quilt needs to look pretty rather than utilitarian because it's going to be a wedding shower gift for my temperamental step-daughter.
What have you had success with for picnic blanket backings?
Thank you all for taking the time to respond!

I use regular good quality cotton fabric. It will take a lot of washing and unless it is dragged around it should last a long time. My DD takes hers to football, baseball and to the park with three kids.
