The quilt I'm working on now--material for quilt top was purchased in GA, borders in OH and backing in WV. Did well with material for backing but only feel so-so about materal for borders.
Anyone on this board from the Charlotte NC area?
It depends on the size of the quilt and the size of my budget at the time of purchase. If the quilt is very large and pocket book small, I will purchase backing at a later time. I ususally use the back fabric as the binding fabric as well.
