hello... my brother in law has an old blue jean quilt that his grandma made years ago. After all of these years the flannel backing has ripped in a few places and they asked me if I could put a new back on it. The quilt is 80" x 80" and they would like plaid flannel. It sure would be awesome if I could find some plaid flannel that was wide (108" or so) to make this new backing. But I can't find any. I can find solid flannel 108" wide, but I was hoping for plaid. I can always piece, but I was just hoping to make it as easy as possible.

And I know if 108" wide plaid flannel exists someone on this board would know where to find it. Any ideas?

I looked at several sites and there weren't any that were plaid. The closest was from thousands of bolts which had a checked pattern. Have you considered using a king size flannel bed sheet? I found lots of them online in flannel plaid.

If you can't find plaid, this flannel has kind of a design that might work? https://www.fabric.com/buy/0393431/1...la-flannel-red

Check out thrift stores. There should be some there. You're in the climate zone for them. You just may find some old flannel 3xl shirts that may work.
