online source for wide fabric

I've decided to make a large mariner's compass quilt, I'd like to use a
plain background and the size would require seams if I used regular
40inch fabric. Does anyone know a place online that has a good
selection? I'm thinking of plain or marbled cream, though I tend to take
inspiration from the fabric on offer, so this could change.

Cheers
Anne

I saw several recently - believe they were over at www.marshalldrygoods.com
The prices were rather low which may or may not be an indicator of their
quality. Anne, it might be a good idea to order the smallest bit you could
to actually inspect the fabric before committing to such a big project.
IMHO, of course. Polly

That was why I was hoping to find a store someone had used before, or
maybe a reputable manufacturer that I could find a seller of.

I just googled the words: fabric wide backing and got pages and pages of
links.... These were just the first few! I'm sure you'll be able to find
what you need.

You might want to watch out for the word 'sateen' in the description of the
wide fabrics. Just a personal thing perhaps but that stuff is very pretty
*and* a little slippery. When I'm piecing, I don't want any fabrics making
travel plans without discussing it with me. Polly

Fabric.com and Keepsake Quilting have 60" wide fabric. I have ordered from
both of them, and have been very happy with them.
