Discount Quilt Fabric For Sale

How Do I Choose a Quilt Back for My Discount Fabric?

The easiest way to select a quilt back for your fabric is to buy wide quilt backing fabric online. Wide quilt backing fabric is 108", so you don't have to piece it together to form your quilt back. While the price per yard is higher, it's still the best value in the long run.

If you don't want to go this route and opt to choose a print fabric that's a shorter width, be aware that it will require some finessing to ensure the pattern matches up. Make sure that whatever you choose for the quilt back, the fabric texture, theme, color and pattern complement the fabric on the front of your quilt. And check our selection of fabrics on sale first for the best price.
