Default Cathedral Window backing fabric

My mom has wanted to make a cw quilt for quite some time now and the only thing stopping her is she doesn't know what kind of fabric to use because she doesn't want to use muslin (she says it wears to quickly and if she's going to make one it's going to last forever) and she wants it to be black. I was wondering if she could use a broadcloth like this one (https://www.fabric.com/buy/bcr-002/c...oadcloth-black). The final quilt will be big enough for her full sized bed which amounts to 19 yards which is why she's shying away from regular quilting cotton. If cotton broadcloth won't work, any other suggestions?
