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 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. :)

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.
