Is there any such thing as 108" wide minky?

I have spoiled my family to the feel of minky on the back of the grandkids' quilts. The grandkids' quilts were only 60" wide, so I didn't have to piece the back. But now I'm making a queen size quilt.

Does anyone know of 108" wide pinky of soft and cuddly fabric?

60" is the widest for minkie. It is easy to sew two pieces together to make a wide back. I have minkie on the back seat f one of my queens. I used a wider seam -1/2"- just because it was easier to fold open for a smooth background.

I think 90" is the widest that I've seen. But 108" would be nice

Thanks for the replies. Is there one brand better than another?

I have used Cuddle by Shannon for years and highly recommend it. There is very little stretch lengthwise, so it is very easy to load onto a longarm. Machine wash and dry.
