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.

Have you checked with WebFabrics?? They have both internet store and brick and mortar....www.webfabrics.net.....

Carly (shop owner) generally has a large supply of backing fabrics........

Your quilt is really beautiful and your color/fabric choice is stunning!!

As far as backing ... I usually never use batik on a back of my quilts because it is a pain to quilt through so many layers of batik. If you can not find a batik that you like, have you considered using a flannel? Perhaps a dark purple or a light lavender?
