Wide Back Fabrics

Wide back fabrics are specifically designed for quilt backings, typically measuring 108 inches wide, but may be 90 inches or even 60 inches wide. This width allows for a single piece of fabric to cover the entire back of a quilt, eliminating the need to piece smaller fabric widths together. 

Key features of wide back fabrics:

• Width:
  Typically 108 inches, though some options may be wider or narrower, such as 60 or 90 inches. 
  
  
• Purpose:
  Primarily used as the backing for quilts, providing a single, seamless layer. 
  
  
• Advantages:
• Time-saving: Eliminates the need to piece together multiple fabric pieces to achieve the required width. 
  
• Cost-effective: While the cost per yard might be higher, the overall cost for a large quilt can be lower due to using less fabric. 
  

Versatility: Can also be used for curtains, tablecloths, and other projects requiring a wide fabric width.
