Default Quilt backing suggestions

I'm in need of 100" wide white muslin for a quilt back. What do you ladies recommend? I've seen the premium muslin at JoAnn's, probably $12.00 a yard or so, not a bad price..... seems like a nice piece of fabric, what do you think?

The premium muslins are nice. That's all I buy anymore (Legacy, Kona Premium, Southern Belle). They go nicely with the quilt shop quality and batik fabrics. It helps me stretch out my stash.

If you figure that the 108" is the equivalent of about 2.5 yds of regular width, it comes out to $4.80. Not too bad for a premium, but if you can get it on sale or with a coupon, even better! On their website, it's on sale for $8.99 (equivalent to $3.60 yd based on regular width).

Premium muslin is good. I have bought several brands of wide quilt backs on sale at fabric.com and thousandsofbolts.com and been happy with them. Right now I am working on several charity quilts and am using some nice used cotton flat sheets I bought at a resale thrift store for $3 each!! I also often piece backs using leftover fabric or coordinating color fabric from my stash and like that it makes the quilts 'Reversible'!

Make sure you get a 40% off coupon at the JoAnn's Website. That makes a big difference....you do the math. Love their premium muslin.

I love both the Kona Muslin and Legacy Muslin sold at Jo'Anns , both are a very high quality. Its the one thing I will use my Coupons for. It is getting harder to find the 120 inch Kona muslin at Jo Anns.
