Try Patchwork Plus in Marcellus New York. I know they have 124" wide in a lot of fabrics. I am new to it but did get a print so I am thinking they must have plain

Try Fabric Shack in Waynesville, Ohio. They have a ton of wide backings.

I believe the widest fat backs you can buy is going to be 120". They don't make it larger than that. I buy my wide backs at Marshall Dry goods online for $5.99 yard. Amie

The widest backing I have ever seen is about 118". Haven't seen any larger than that.

The widest fabric I have found is 120 inch & it wasn't Muslin. I did find Kona Muslin in 118 inch today at a JoAnn's. You will probably have to put a border around it to make it the size you are wanting. Or do it in more than 2 pieces.

Cut your muslin into 3 equal pieces and add an contracting accent strip over the seams on the back.Georgia Bonesteel tells how to do this in her book "Lap Quilting Lives". It is easy to do and adds a decorative touch to the back of your quilt.

Just wanted to let you know I bought a bolt of Moda Muslin 120" from Hancocks of Paducah. Thought you might want to know for the future. Bev
