"FatBacks"®  are available only through Christian Lane Quilters.

We also sell our wide width fabrics in continuous half yard increments, or by full bolts.  Please call for pricing on full bolts.

The finished width of the quilt back prints is 108  inches wide. After washing, 100% cotton fabrics can have a residual shrinkage of up to 5%. It is safe to estimate that the width may be 102 to 104 inches wide. Shrinkage can be minimized by washing the fabric in cold water with a cool dry cycle.  A good guideline to determine the size bacing to purchase is:  add 5% to the finished size that you need.  If you are having your top quilted, be sure to consider the number of inches your quilter needs as overage.  For example, we need the backings that we work with to be eight inches wider and eight inches longer than the size of the top.  Add the eight inch overage to your top's dimensions, and then add 5% to each side.

Please note that some colors and patterns may look distorted as a result of the scanning process. Also note that colors may look different on your monitor. E-mail us with your address for free swatches that will mail to you the same day.  We especially encourage you to ask for Bali and Batik swatches. While we have tried to describe the variety of colors in each fabric, it is sometimes difficult.  Cut fabrics are NOT returnable, so be certain before you purchase.
