I like the extra wide fabrics for backings and or back ground fabrics. I used to keep it on hand but finally figured out it is easier just to order it when I need it, then I get the correct amount and the color I need.)

My first go to is Marshal Dry Goods, their prices are very good, they are fast service, and I have never been disappointed with their fabrics. And then it is Fabric.com - for the same reasons. (I do like to buy my fabric so that it can be washed and dried before the quilt is put together.) The place I use for quilting thought it was funny when I bought her fabric, then took it home and washed it. But I was going to be doing the binding and the chemicals on fabric destroys my fingers and fingernails, so she understood. Not sure why the batting doesn't bother me hands - but it's probably because I don't hold onto it like the cotton fabric.
