I'm really hoping to find a local source for quilt backing; I bought some online, but once it arrived, it really wasn't what I was hoping for (wanted white on white, but it was really more a white on off-white). I'd like to be able to see the fabric and touch it before buying...

I get from LQS when they have discounted it.

In the south fatback is something you eat. In quilting I think it is a fatquarter.

I try to take a look when in Marshalls, or Home goods at the designs of the nicer quality king sized sheets (400ct or better) to see if it would make a good backing. I use the flats for queen quilts and the fitted for full or twin quilts. At about $30-$50 a set, this is a great price for two backings and I send the pillow cases to the deployed military.

My second choice is to get them from Thousands of Bolts. I have gotten nice quality fabric.

Marshall Dry Goods has quite a variety, and they have a website. I haven't ordered the 102 or 108", but I have ordered other fabric. Quality is excellent and their customer service is outstanding.

Well, sort of. A "fat quarter" is 18x22. A "fat back" is usually 108" wide fabric. Both involve quilting.

I also have a "fat tush", but we don't really need to go there!

I found a nice selection of wide backing fabric at www.equilter.com I have ordered from them many times and am never disappointed.

I love the 108" Blenders from Marshall Dry Goods.

Never heard of fat back in quilting but I haven't been quilting long. I have a fat tush also.
