    I like pretty fabric for the backside of my quilts. My stash is very lacking in this area. Where is your favorite site to shop 108" wide fabric, please?

    Marshall Dry Goods has great prices. Thousands of Bolts has good prices and a great selection. I have ordered from both and been very pleased.

    Quilted Twins in Dade City, FL. They always have great prices and quick service. It is an online store, there are no quilt shops near me. It's less expensive to pay the shipping than drive 200 miles round trip, gas isn't cheap!

    Quilted Twins in Dade City, Fl, and I just checked out and ordered a 118" wide backing from Miller's Fabrics with only a $5 shipping charge. Came quickly and it seems to be a nice fabric. Will go there again as most of my quilts are around 105" or more these days.

    Keepsake Quilting has beautiful backs. I've bought from them and was pleased with the fabric and the service.

    I like nice backings, but am more than willing to run a single seam to make my own wide enough. Sometimes, if it's for a king size quilt, 2 seams. It's very easy to do and cost effective. I look at what Hancock's of Paducah has on sale for $5 or $6/yard. Sometimes, there's a quantity discount on top of that, so I get 10 or 15 yards for as little as $4/yard.

    Hancock's also has brand name widebacks. Another place that some find ones they like is https://backsidefabrics.com . I have not used them, but know people who have.

    I like Backside Fabrics and Keepsake Quilting. Keepsake has specials on Wednesdays and offers 3 yd bundles at great prices and Backside has some great sale prices. I haven't bought any wide backs from Marshall's Dry Goods but have been satisfied with regular fabric I have gotten there.

    I just looked at Quilted Twins. I'm going to be needing to get another back soon for a quilt I'm making for a Christmas gift. Wow! They had 3 or 4 that would work. Nice backings!

    Equilter is still my first stop. Not sure how often they have backings on sale, but they just had a sale about a month ago:

    In addition to Keepsake, Hancocks, and Marshalls Dry Goods, I've bought beautiful backings at Fat Quarter Shop. It was during a Black Friday sale last year. The backings were rich in color and design and a good price at the time. May be a good place to watch for sales. Missouri Star also had some great prices on quilt backings during their Pre-Christmas sales. I bought a couple from them too and was not disappointed.
