fabric.com has a good selection of extra-wide fabrics. Whites, tone on tone, prints, flannel, muslin... I think their prices are reasonable:
http://www.fabric.com/quilting-fabri...Source=LeftNav sewbatik.com has a nice selection of extra-wide batiks. http://www.christianlanequilters.com/widebackings.html sells only FatBacks (queen-size backings) and extra-wide yardage. Good selection. |
I get mine at Hancock Fabric. It sure makes it easier to finish the quilt.

I found the colors I want at fabric.com and I like the white-on-white ones they have. It's only 6.98 per yard for 108" wide (says compared to $9.99 at other places). I have quilts that have bright white in them and I couldn't find anything else that wasn't a natural or off-white. I have to measure 1 of the quilts again. It's very large and I am not totally sure that 108" is big enough with 4" extra around each side.
Thanks for the suggestions. :) |
Nixiechicks had some on sale, not sure if it's still there or not.
Take a gander over and check them out. |

Nixie Chicks has backing for $7.99. Nice blenders but I needed a dark blue and a white, which they didn't have.
I ordered some at fabric.com. |
Just checked mine and no shrinkage, but I only wash in cold water too.

Whittles had some interesting looking backing, you might take a look at here
http://www.whittlesfabrics.com/cgi-b...duct=Widewidth I just bought some of the Roclon, $6.50 a yard. I only ordered it night before last, so I haven't gotten it yet. I asked them to send me 3 -3 yard pieces, instead of 9 yards, so we'll see if they actually do it. |
I was looking at that Roc-lon but I had never heard of it and wasn't sure what it was.
Let me know what it's like. |
Will do. It may arrive tomorrow or the next day, they said it shipped out on 27th.
