About 108 Inch Wide Fabric for Quilt Backing – Wideback Cotton & Wideloads

Our 108 inch wide fabric collection includes extra-wide cotton fabrics measuring approximately 274 cm across. The generous width makes these fabrics particularly useful for quilt backings, helping reduce the number of joins needed across larger quilts.

Also known as wideback fabrics, the range includes designs from Devonstone’s Wideloads collection. These wide fabrics can be used for curtains, bedding, table linens and other homewares, as well as selected dressmaking projects that benefit from additional width, such as gathered or layered skirts. Explore prints suited to quilting and other sewing projects where standard-width fabric may not provide enough coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is 108 inch fabric used for?

108 inch extra wide fabric is most commonly used for quilt backing. Its width allows many quilts to be backed without piecing multiple fabric widths together. It is also suitable for curtains, tablecloths, bedspreads and other large sewing projects.

Do I need to piece 108 inch wide fabric for a quilt back?

In most cases, no. For many single, double and queen size quilts, one width of 108 inch fabric is wide enough to create a seamless backing. Always check your finished quilt measurements and allow extra for quilting and trimming.

How much 108 inch fabric do I need for a quilt backing?

This depends on your quilt’s finished size. Measure the width and length of your quilt top, add allowance for quilting, shrinkage and trimming, and calculate the required length based on the 108 inch fabric width.

Does 108 inches refer to the width or length of the fabric?

It refers to the width of the fabric from selvedge to selvedge, which is approximately 274 cm. The length you order is measured separately and supplied as one continuous piece whenever possible.
