I just finished making a quilt for my husband and it came about 110" square and i have only seen 108" backing material. Is there any wider fabric out there that i am not aware of? please lead me to it...

Thanks

Yup, there is. A little more costly though. Check out some of the online shops.

This site has some that are 110, but I have not tried them.

Yes. Very durable. Good backing choice.

The nice thing about muslin is that it shows up the quilting. I think it is also a reasonably priced option for backing when some of the cotton is getting so expensive.

Muslin works out great! and no piecing!
Enjoy!!!

Muslin use to be the backing fabric of choice.

thank you all for your kind replies. I guess i have an important mission to go to Joann's tomorrow and dig into this. Hopefully it comes in a good matching color with the quilt.
