You can find lower greige broadcloth that is like quilter's cotton feel. It is mainly printed color not woven but lots of quilter's cottons are too. I have gotten some from Marshall Dry Goods at good prices and it's a wider fabric than 45".

[quote=Twilliebee]Most LQS carry a good quality cotton broadcloth. Comes in solid colours and is comparable in quality (and price!) to any good quilting cotton. The Kona solids are considered high quality 100% cotton broadcloth at my LQS.
Most fabric stores also stock an inexpensive poly/cotton blend broadcloth for all sorts of general usage. It's usually just $1 or so a yard.
Here's more info, for those of us who just can't get enough:

This is interesting: http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-broadcloth.htm Guess there are fabrics we refer to as broadcloth that really aren't in the classic sense of the word.
Thanks for the interesting sites!
