William Morris Extra Wide Quilt Backing - Willow Bough Navy

Your quilt top deserves a back that does it justice. This extra wide William Morris backing is inspired by the V&A archives, home to the wallpapers and textiles of one of the most influential designers of the Arts and Crafts movement. It brings his timeless style to the underside of your quilt, so the finished piece looks as good turned over as it does on top.

At 108" (274cm) wide, it's about nine feet of cotton, enough to back a full-size or bed-size quilt without joining seams. Fewer seams means less piecing, a smoother finish and more time quilting. It also gives you long, unbroken lengths for borders, so you can cut them in one go with no joins.

Made from 100% cotton, it's soft, breathable and a pleasure to quilt through. It also matches the William Morris quilting fabrics beautifully, so you can back and piece in the same design family.

A few places this fabric loves to land:

• Backing for bed, throw and large wall quilts
• Long, unjoined quilt borders
• Duvet covers, bedspreads and throws
• Curtains and large soft furnishings
• Dressmaking and big, flowing garments
• Tablecloths and other larger home projects

Whether you're finishing a family heirloom or a cosy throw, this backing gives your quilt a beautiful back and a simpler route to finishing it.
