    Thumbs up Connecting Threads wide backing fabric

    I have ordered from Connecting Threads for years, but never their wide backing. Just received the backing for our king size quilt and it is wonderful fabric. It's a heavier weight than any I saw anywhere else, the color was true to the web site. It's perfect and I'll definitely order wide backing fabric from them again.

    Yes - I didn't even realize the backing I'd pulled out for a recent quilt was the wide backing I'd ordered from Connecting Threads when they had it on sale. What a delightful surprise when I laid it out to see how I'd piece it to find I didn't have to! Love their fabric and have used a lot of their threads. Oh - and batting when they have it on sale - and kits. Just love the site overall.

    Good to know their wide backing fabric is so nice. I also love their fabrics and just placed an order last week for the swoon kit and additional fabrics in that fabric line. Glad I ordered the day the sale info came out as the fabrics sold out quickly.

    Their fabric has gotten better and better as they have become more popular with quilters (and I personally think that popularity is because the QB is SO supportive and recommending of their site!). Some of the older pieces I ordered from them were not the greatest but still workable in my projects. Guess I need to look at their wide backings; have not bought any because I happened to have a sufficient amount of fabric for backings until very recently. Love their thread too.

    I always get their backing fabric, particularly a tan with small flowers. I have ordered it 3 times in the last couple years. It is better than anything on the market for the price that's for sure.
