Backing Material
#11
I don't like piecing backs, either - I only do it if the perfect fabric isn't available in wide widths.
I buy almost all of my quilt backings from "judipat47" on eBay - she's got over 100 different prints and solids in 108" wide fabrics, plus some more in 90" wide and 120" wide.
The price is only $7-10/yd and the most you pay for shipping on any order is $10.70. She's always super fast and friendly and the quality of the fabric has always been very good.

She's got several purples in marble, solid and tone on tone.

I use the marbled blenders from
http://www.marshalldrygoods.com
They are usually $6 for 108 wide. Great thickness.

I am experimenting with different battings and such... I am wanting to try using a sheet as a backing ( love the idea of buying the sheet set/cordinating).
For those of you that have used sheets as backing..Do you have a preference as to what kind of sheet feels/works best,thread count? etc?..Thanks for any info

I think in thickness, they're somewhere between Moda and Benartex or Windham?
