Nothing to join, nothing to line up, nothing running across the back of your work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStandard quilting cotton comes off the bolt at 44 or 45 inches wide. To back anything bigger than a lap quilt with it, you buy two lengths, join them, match the pattern, press the seam open, and then hope it lands somewhere your longarm will forgive. This piece is 108 inches in both directions, which is the equivalent of 7.2 yards of regular width fabric, in one uncut piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout this red\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a true red with depth in it. Scarlet where the light catches, deep crimson in the folds, moving across the cloth the way dye moves through cotton.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the back for a Christmas quilt. Not a novelty print with candy canes on it, which ties a quilt to one collection and one year, but a red that reads festive on its own and still looks right in March. It is the back for a red and white top, the traditional kind, where the red carries through to the other side and the quilt is finished on both faces. It is the back for a patriotic quilt, and for anything with red in the piecing that deserves to be pulled out rather than politely ignored.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA red backing is also the one people notice. A quilt folded over the end of a bed shows its back more often than its front, and this is a back worth showing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much it covers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e108 inches in both directions backs a quilt top up to roughly 92 by 92 inches with generous allowance all round for a longarm. That covers most throw, twin and queen tops in one seamless piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor a king, you will want two. One seam instead of three or four, and enough left over to back a throw, line a bag, or start something else entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOne honest note about the color\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eReds are the hardest colors to photograph. Screens push them toward orange on one monitor and toward pink on the next, and neither is the cloth you will be holding. Order it, unwrap it, and put it next to your quilt top in daylight. If it is not the one, you have sixty days to tell us and we refund every cent, return shipping included, no restocking fee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect for\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eQuilt backs, from throw size up to queen\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWhole cloth quilts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLongarm and domestic machine quilting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAny project where a seam would show\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e100% Cotton\u003cbr\u003e\n108\" Wide\u003cbr\u003e\n3 Yard Cut\u003cbr\u003e\nEquivalent to 7.2 yards of standard 45\" quilting cotton\u003cbr\u003e\nCollection: Northcott Impressions 108\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLess piecing.
