Quilt backing
 
Does anyone have a suggestion on where to buy backing for a King size quilt? I've looked around my area and I haven't found any that I was thrlled with.

I am hoping to not have to piece the back.

Joann's usually carries a small selection of fabrics wide enough to do a king size backing, assuming you might have one nearby.

Thank you. I went there yesterday and no luck.

I have bought 108" wide backing from Sew it is and from Craft Town Fabrics and was very impressed with their service. Both have websites and very reasonable prices.

Thank you. I'll check them out.

I haven't bought from this website, but it's in my Favorites list from someone's prior post:

My two favorite places are
Thousands of bolts - one of the best selections
Fabric .com - also a big selection , but do avoid temptation to buy the cheaper ones... they are very thin.

Look online at Fabric Depot. I got some 118" - unfortunately a polyester blend, but they have many other wide fabrics.

Absolutely, could not agree more! I just recently got the South Seas Imports stuff from Thousands of Bolts. VERY NICE. Bought a 1 yard remnant of the Quilt Traditions flannel wide back they carry, would NOT recommend it.
