Backing Material
The backing material is the fabric that is seen on the bottom side of a quilt. At T-Shirt Quilts of Texas we have over 700 bolts of fabric in stock to select that perfect fabric for your quilt. We don't use solid color fabrics as they have a horrible tendency to show lint, pet hair and just everyday use. We use fabrics commonly referred to as 'tone-on-tone'. These are fabrics that add a visual 'texture' and 'depth' to a quilt without adding the more cluttered look of a multi-color print or the FLAT color of a solid fabric. The professional quilting shows up beautifully on both the front and the back of the quilt.
