Default Best place to buy extra-wide backing material?

I really don't want to have to piece anything together for my larger quilts.


Currently I am working on an extra large one (for me anyway) and it is 98x102.

I thought it would be easier and less stretching, if I didn't have seams. So would the wide-backing work? And if so, where is your favorite place to go?

Connecting Threads has extra wide backing. I have been happy with what I have ordered. I think that Jo-Ann's also has wide backing.

I like Connecting Threads and ThousandsofBolts.com. But I mostly use thrifted cotton sheets these days...no piecing and doesn't break the bank.

Hobby Lobby has wide back fabric and I really like the backing from Connecting Threads.

Red, just posted and got an email from CT, 40% off wide backings and 20% off orders over $60. Don't mean to enable you...

When I need a wide backing for a large quilt I use Christian Lane Quilters.

I've used Thousands of Bolts and BackSide Fabrics and was very pleased with the prices and service.

This is where I get all of my wide backings. Luckily, I'm only 45 minutes from the store, but it's also very easy to order online. Like on Facebook and you will see the sales.
