Try Fat Backs, or Back Side Fabrics. Back side fabrics will send you free swatches About 2 1/2 by 3" in a few different fabrics so you can see if they are the correct color and how they feel. You order them just like you are ordering the full amount. I've ordered from them several times with good results. Quilted Memories LLC also has some lovely wide backing.

As long as a quilt will not be hand quilted, I have bought white sheets and dyed to match, or bought nice used sheets from St, Vinnie's, to back quilts with. I buy king size sheets so I can use them on any size quilt. Just be sure to completely unfold them to check for stains or holes before purchasing them.

I like backsidefabrics too. They have a variety of choices: 106" 108" and 110" backing sizes at great prices. Lots of choices, & good quality. I buy this backing fabric to use on the front (some for under $10/yd):
