Thanks to you for the Marshalls online connection. They have the most selection of backing fabric selection that I have found.
I also do the tube method (if I cannot find whole cloth backing) because I some times use the back of the quilt as a whole cloth quilt (this means that I have 2 sides of the quilt to decorate the bed.) My children like this because the boys like the solid and the girls like the patchwork side.
Why not get 2 looks for 1 effort. I want the back side to be as beautiful as the front and whole cloth quilts are beginning to show up.
