Black is a true black from Shannon Fabrics’ Cuddle Extra Wide line, a solid minky with a plush 3mm pile. It’s 100% polyester and 90" wide, so many quilt backs can be cut in one piece.
Bold and classic, black is the go-to backing for high-contrast modern quilts, graphic and Halloween designs, and quilts that get used every day, since it hides stains and wear beautifully. It makes bright quilt tops look even more vivid and goes with every color.
Cuddle is also great for throws, pillows, apparel, and stuffed animals. Compare Black with Ink for a near-black navy and Gunmetal for a dark charcoal. If you’re new to minky, a walking foot and a slightly longer stitch help it feed evenly.
