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 black\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is not a flat black. The color moves across the cloth: charcoal, soft grey, deep near black, shifting the way weather shifts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the back for a top that is already loud: bright batiks, saturated solids, jewel tones that would look thin against something pale. It is the back for a Christmas quilt in deep reds and greens, where black holds the color instead of washing it out. It is the back for a t-shirt quilt or a graduation quilt, where the top is a collection of logos and colors that have nothing to do with each other. And it is the one for a quilt that will be used hard, on a couch, by people with feet and coffee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSolid black is unforgiving, and every line of quilting reads as a hard pale scratch across it. Here the stitching has somewhere to sit, and the back of your quilt looks finished rather than exposed.\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\u003eBlack is the hardest color there is to judge on a screen. Order it, unwrap it, and hold it against your quilt top in daylight before you commit to anything. 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.
