fabric.com has a good selection of extra-wide fabrics. Whites, tone on tone, prints, flannel, muslin... I think their prices are reasonable:

sewbatik.com has a nice selection of extra-wide batiks.

http://www.christianlanequilters.com/widebackings.html sells only FatBacks (queen-size backings) and extra-wide yardage. Good selection.

I get mine at Hancock Fabric. It sure makes it easier to finish the quilt.

I found the colors I want at fabric.com and I like the white-on-white ones they have. It's only 6.98 per yard for 108" wide (says compared to $9.99 at other places). I have quilts that have bright white in them and I couldn't find anything else that wasn't a natural or off-white. I have to measure 1 of the quilts again. It's very large and I am not totally sure that 108" is big enough with 4" extra around each side.

Thanks for the suggestions. :)

Nixiechicks had some on sale, not sure if it's still there or not.
Take a gander over and check them out.

i've used this and if cost is an issue, you can't do any better. just remember that it shrinks, so 108" becomes more like 104". but it is very soft and comes in a a couple of prints in several colors. like janw said, use your coupon. and start stocking them up.

Nixie Chicks has backing for $7.99. Nice blenders but I needed a dark blue and a white, which they didn't have.

I ordered some at fabric.com.

Just checked mine and no shrinkage, but I only wash in cold water too.

Whittles had some interesting looking backing, you might take a look at here

I just bought some of the Roclon, $6.50 a yard. I only ordered it night before last, so I haven't gotten it yet. I asked them to send me 3 -3 yard pieces, instead of 9 yards, so we'll see if they actually do it.

I was looking at that Roc-lon but I had never heard of it and wasn't sure what it was.

Let me know what it's like.

Will do. It may arrive tomorrow or the next day, they said it shipped out on 27th.
