What width are Northcott Wideback fabrics?

What fabric content are Northcott Widebacks?

Northcott Widebacks are 100% cotton — the same quality quilting cotton Northcott uses in their standard-width fabric lines. They offer excellent color accuracy, consistent weave, and beautiful drape in finished quilts.

What styles of Northcott Widebacks are available?

Northcott Widebacks are available in a range of styles including tone-on-tone prints, Stonehenge gradations, texturals, and coordinating basics. Browse individual listings for current color and design availability.

How much wideback do I need for a queen-size quilt?

For a standard queen quilt, you typically need 3 yards of extra-wide wideback fabric. Add several inches on all sides for longarm loading, so plan for 3–3.5 yards for comfortable overhang on the frame.
