Wide Quilt Backing
I am ready to finish 3 quilts that I have been working on and cannot find reasonable buys on quilt backing fabric. Anyone found a good place to buy nice quality backings? I did find one at Missouri Star Quilt that was a reasonable price but I have looked on lots of sites and not found a go-to source to depend on finding what I want without searching all over the web and local stores....which are few in my area. Help!

I have purchased many quilt backs thru Connecting Threads as well as Hancocks of Paducah. You can find some good prices on either site.

FYI-I just watched Fons & Porter and the long arm quilter said to always over buy wide backs because they are not wound straight on the bolts. If they use a rotary cutter to cut the length you will end up with a wonky edge and by the time you straighten it, it might be too short for your top.
