Hancock's of Paduca has 120" wide Moda white muslin for 7.98 a yard and I'm going to order some for backings and what I cut off will be used for quilts. info provided says it like Kono Cotton. Wide backings with prints and/or colors are 9.98. These are excellent prices as all of them are name brand. If you order $40, or it may be $50, shipping is free so I'll also order some in the light tan swirly patterns. I think 2 1/2 yds of each will do it. I'll be making a few large quilts soon and these wide backings will work out great, and as I say, leftovers will be used for smaller quilt backs as well as for blocks. I make a lot of scrappy blocks and I always need leftover light fabrics.
