oh...and I have had mixed results buying the extra wide backing for quilting. Some of it has been fine and some is definitely of poorer quality. One thing I have learned with the extra wide backings is to buy a good amount of extra at least a half yard but maybe even a full yard to be safe as often it seems to be wound on the bolt crooked and is not straight at all. One quilt shop I went to always torn extra wide backings as the owner felt that it made the backing straighter and not as much fabric was needed.
