Step 7: Choosing your backing fabric.

This is simple enough - buy a flat sheet of the same size! I really don't do anything else. :)

The best places to look are thrift stores or clearance racks in stores like Target. You don't want to spend more than $15 on it.

The color is also up to you - I almost always use white backing because it's traditional, but if you want the backing to match the quilt, go for it!

I love that you put this suggestion (a flat sheet for the backing); it's exactly what I do and you don't get a seam down the middle from sewing yards of fabric together.
