How to know when to buy yards and yards of fabrics for backing?

Do you stash fabrics that are specifically for backing a quilt?

They need to be a large piece for sure and buying large pieces of fabrics is risky.

In the end, it may seems that all of your quilt doesn’t match the backing fabric you have in stash. Have you been in this situation before?

And if there are any fabrics, the fabric is not enough to back a quilt. Ughhh.

That’s me. Cause I rarely ever buy more than 3 yards of the same fabric. Not even on when they’re on sale.

I think 3 yards is the max.

Unless it’s a white solid. I buy those on bolts.

In today’s post, I’ll let you know how I get around with that and share with you some of the ways to work mix matching fabrics to make a quilt back large enough for your quilt.
