The bottom portion of the quilt sandwich is known as the quilt's backing. Here are some quilt backing design thoughts:
1. Use a backing that works with the quilt top if both will be visible during use, in a bed quilt for instance.
2. Choose a backing with an interesting motif and then quilt from the back, along the printed lines, to transfer the design to the front.
3. A busy backing hides less-than-perfect quilting stitches.
4. Use the same quality fabric for your backing as you did for your top.
5. Always remove the selvedge from the fabric.

The quilt backing should be as pretty as the front, and as well made. The choice of fabric should complement the front of the quilt. You can be creative or use up some leftover fabric from another quilt. The backing should be square and you should avoid having any long, continuous seams.
