I know that this is absolutely of no help to you but I go to one of my local quilt shops. They have perhaps 30 different choices of the wide fabric. I have never purchased it online.

I get mine at either Hobby Lobby or Wal Mart. I use to buy online but the last time they sent and charged me for twice as much as I wanted, so I am done with them. Sometimes I use large pieces of fabrics and use that. I have lots of large yardage pieces and just make them fit the back.

108" wide backings

Jenny Doan had a tutorial on it and it's just so neat.
Thanks for any suggestions.

I get 99% of mine from WebFabrics (www.webfabrics.net)....She even carries a decent selection of wide batik fabrics.......everything is LQ top quality.....and her shipping department ( one person) can cram more into one of those USPS flat rate boxes than anyone I have ever seen - so shipping is very reasonable...

Thanks to this thread which came at a good time, I just ordered from Backside Fabrics. They had exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for the recommendations!

I just made a list. I am finishing a large quilt (or at least large to me 90 X 90). I love all the options you guys have given me.

I bought really cheap on Amazon, but didn't like the fabric, it was pilled up already!

I recently saw nice 108" sale at Connecting Threads and Hancocks of Paducah.
