Extra Wide Fabrics

It would also be ideal for sashing and borders and one of the colours would be suitable for blending with a range of colours. Not only would this cotton fabric be good for using in patchwork and quilting projects but it would also make up into very fine curtains and I’m sure dressmakers would be inspired by it for interesting garments! The other plain, 60 inch wide fabrics come in a large range of colours and again would be useful for backings, sashings and borders. Not being as wide as the Moda fabric there would probably need to be seaming when backing a large quilt but for lap quilts and smaller patchwork projects there would be no problem with width! The discerning quilter will be able to design her or his project to make use of the 60 inch width so that it can be used in its most useful form.
