I like solid color backings for my quilts. When Hancock Fabrics has a 50% off coupon, I buy the whole roll of 120" wide Sheeting fabric. I find it to be a consistently good quality. Even though I am not very good on my long arm, the effect of having a solid color back with the quilting done with a thread that shows up a lot, makes all my quilts reversible. I do always match the back to some color on the front. The wide sheeting comes in black, white, beige and tan. At 9 dollars a yard for 118"-120" wide, the fabric is quite a bargain.
