I like www.backsidefabrics.com. I have ordered several times from them and been happy with the quality and prompt service.

I have been a little disappointed in what I got from Quilted Twins, as far as wide backs go. The weave was pretty uneven, leaving large "bubbles," which were difficult to get even enough to quilt without leaving pleats. The fabric was thinner than many others I've ordered from them. I haven't ordered wide backs from them for few years after that, so maybe things have changed. I'm a pre-washer, so these things may not have shown up for those who don't prewash. I get very little fabric from JoAnn's anymore, but was pleasantly surprised at the quality of a couple of wide backs I bought from them. I do like Hobby Lobby for wide backs.

Woohoo! You go Aashley -- 9 backs will be quite a package. I've always been very happy with equilter and hoipe you have similar results.
I did buy two backs -- one just because and one that I think will go well with my civil war fabrics once I get to sewing again. I also picked up a White on White "scrap pack", the Bonnie Hunter mysteries always use up what I have. The scrap packs are hard to find on the website but are a really good way to build up stash by color or theme, if they have something you want. They are typically bolt ends under 1/2 yard. Sometimes there are more options than others and I got the only White on White bundle.
