Let’s talk quilt backs. Yep, that part you usually don’t see right away but totally notice when it’s done right. If you’ve ever spent hours perfecting a quilt top only to feel a little “meh” about the back… you’re not alone.
Enter the world of widebacks—the unsung heroes of quilting. And one of the most eye-catching, swoon-worthy examples out there? Tula Pink’s Free Fall 108" Widebacks. Let’s dive into what makes a wideback not just good—but great.
What Makes a Great Wideback?
Widebacks: A Quilter’s Best Friend
1. Seamless Beauty & Generous Width:
Traditional quilting cottons are typically 40-44 inches wide, necessitating seams to cover larger quilts. Wideback fabrics, like those measuring 108 inches, eliminate the need for piecing, resulting in a seamless, smooth backing that lays flat and straight.
2. High-Quality Material:
The fabric's quality affects the quilt's feel and longevity. Tula Pink's Free Fall widebacks are made from 100% cotton sateen, offering a luxurious softness and a subtle sheen that adds elegance to any quilt.
3. Vibrant and Versatile Designs:
A good wideback should enhance the quilt's overall aesthetic. Free Fall widebacks feature large-scale patterns with swooping swallows and polka dots in various colorways, including Lipstick, Creamsicle, Sky, Navy, Orchid, and Battleship. These designs can make the back of your quilt as captivating as the front.
To sum it up:
- Wide enough to avoid piecing
- Soft and durable fabric that plays nice with needles and thread
- Gorgeous design that complements your quilt (or steals the spotlight)
- User-friendly for quilters who value both beauty and efficiency
Tula Pink’s Free Fall just happens to tick all those boxes—while swooping in with a little flair.
