Help me choose a quilt backing? Modern baby quilt.

I've got the top made on this modern half hexi baby quilt, but am very stuck on the backing. My LQS has a few moderns, but none really "spoke" to me, and the other LQS and Joanns really don't have any moderns. So to the internet it is. I really want to go with a rainbow to match the bright colors on the front. I've looked at dots, overlapping dots, chevrons, and stripes, but nothing is right. Does someone here know of a perfect fabric for backing? I have a lime green for binding from the scrap bucket, but I'm not committed to that. Thanks!

Check this fabric out. It looks like it contains all of your colors and might work for what you want. I think the lime green binding would look great.

how about this...Over the rainbow Wave 41014 32 Moda Batiks...since it is a baby quilt you won't need much. or
Dreamcatcher Batiks - Night Yardage - Moda Fabrics - Moda Fabrics

Go to M*QC shop and google Riley Blake there are two fabrics there that might work

So Happy Together - Hexi Multi Yardage by Deena Rutter for Riley Blake
Simply Sweet - Quilt Red Yardage by Lori Whitlock for Riley Blake

how bout something like this?
Island Breeze - Vertical Rainbow Stripe - Stripes, Checks & Plaids, Elkabee's Fabric Paradise.com, LLC

Since it's a baby quilt I vote for minky: https://www.missouriquiltco.com/shop/browse?q=minky There's a couple that would work with your colors.

And this one from Joann's would be perfect: Ultra Cuddle Fabric Dots at Joann.com

I'll play!

Great site!! Thanks!

If it is a modern quilt then you could do a very simple row of hexies down the back. I would definitely use the green binding.

How about a lovely bright stripe? https://www.etsy.com/listing/1645489...w_type=gallery

I love it, Kathy!
And it's flannel back! I searched today, but came up dry.
My thought was hexie, just simpler...more geometric.
I think this would be awesome!
