Default Purple Batik Big Star, Little Star almost done--can't find backing for it

I saw this quilt on here a while back (member Ube made a really striking red one) and made it in purple batiks. I have it assembled down to a large 9 patch so only a bit more to go. I could only fit 2/3 of it on my design wall so the rest of it is laying on the table.

I have been searching for a lavendar/purple batik wide backing for it and haven't been able to find anything. If you've seen a light to medium lavendar/purple wide batik I would really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks.

Beautiful Quilt! Purple batixs are to so hard to find. Any luck getting more of one of the ones in the front?
