Kona cotton is a premium, 100% cotton broadcloth from Robert Kaufman Fabrics.
I have also seen other brands broad cloth for quilting. Just besure to check if it is 100% cotton unless you do not mind a blend. Many traditional Hawaiian quilts have polly cotton blends.

I just bought a deep hot pink Kona cotton from JoAnn's that had a good feel & weight for backing a batik rectangle/log cabin quilt. It was a fun color for the quilt and doesn't compete with all the colors.
My LAQ is just beginning to do a semi-custom quilt design for it. I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out!

jeaninmaine- you're right about the broadcloth. the name refers to fabric that has a certain plain weave and weight of threads, usually cotton, but with the advent of polyester, poly-cotton.it also comes in silk. sewing machines love it, quilting machines love it, and many, many, quilter's love it
