Using squares of fabric for backing on twin quilt.
#1
Hi all. I would like to make a backing for granddaughter's twin quilt using leftover fabric from the quilt {It's a tossed 9 patch}. My question is, how big would I cut the squares to sew together for the backing? Thanks in advance for all your wonderful help and I hope you all have a happy quilting day!

I try to go larger rather than smaller so there aren't as many seams on the back as on the front. But I FMQ on a domestic machine and try not to have too much bulk.
You do have to consider what quilting pattern you will use. If you usually follow the lines of the blocks on the front, it might look awkward on the back....but that's okay!
But I agree...anything goes!
