Thousands of Bolts, Over the Rainbow, etc. There are many places online that sell wide fabric.

I've never bought a fatback. To tell you the truth, I don't know what it is.

my local quilt shop or online via a quilt shop. I dont care for the texture too much of Jo Anns. If you feel one then feel the other you side by side you will notice the difference almost immediately.

www.whittlesfabrics.com has some lovely 108" for $9.50 a yard. They have more in their shop than listed on their website. You could call them if you don't find what you're looking for. They have great prices on regular fabric too.
