Vineyard 108 in Green is a 108-inch wide backing fabric with a tonal, meandering vine design over a watermarked background. The 108-inch width is the practical reason to choose it: a standard 42-inch quilting cotton has to be pieced into two or three panels to back anything larger than a lap quilt, meaning seams to match, extra pressing and a join running down the back. At 108 inches you can back most quilt sizes from a single length with no piecing at all.
Green suits this design particularly well, since a meandering vine reads as foliage and the tonal treatment keeps it from looking literal. It's a natural back for botanical, garden and civil war reproduction quilts, and it works under almost any top with green in the palette. Because the vine is tonal, it reads as texture rather than a competing print — enough movement to hide quilting stitches and everyday marks, without a pattern fighting the front. The width also suits tablecloths, duvet covers and curtain panels. This listing is fabric only: no pattern, batting, thread or notions are included.
