ThousandsofBolts.com has a huge selection of 108" fabric, usually about $14-15 per yard. I've had very good customer service and fabrics from them.

I got a set of queen size sheets at dollar discount store for $15.00 and after washing them they do not look bad. Pillow cases came with them also.

I love Fabric.com, Connecting Threads and Marshalls. Marshalls has the best prices unless you hit a sale elsewhere, and for my purposes have a good selection. Their shipping is reasonable ($5.95 for up to 10 yards). I also use sheets. There is a charity store here that sells sheets for $2.00 - $4.00 depending on size. And many are brand new.

You've gotten quite a few good suggestions, so I would only add MSQS and Thousands of Bolts. Muslin is fine, and so are sheets that can be repurposed.. Sometimes a bedsheet is less expensive

Muslin has been used for years and is great for backing. My DM used bed sheets for her's and they were always hand quilted. I have only used regular quilting fabrics for mine. I think it is up to you what you like the best and what is easy for you to find.
