I keep a good supply of backing, at least 7 yards of each backing fabric. I have my stash down to I can find what I want and still have plenty and of course room to store more.
If you order kits, be sure the PATTERN is included. This may sound silly but I ordered a kit (or two) and it said the pattern is in Quiltmaker Oct/Nov issue, blah, blah. I used Quiltmaker as my example only; I love that magazine!
