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.

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
