Did you know that Connecting Threads now carries coordinating backing fabric? That's right, we recently added the option to two of our most popular collections: Symphony of Blues and Charlottesville.
We are really excited about this new offering and are hopeful that it will make your life a little easier! The fabrics come in 104" widths and are priced at just $11.96/yard.
You can find the fabrics on our site in two different ways. First, if you go to either the Symphony of Blues or Charlottesville product pages and right under the individual fabrics section, you will see the backing option under the header Coordinating Backing Fabric | 104" Wide.
Another easy way to find the backing is through the Browse all fabric by option. You can find this option in the left hand side of the fabrics page. Click on the button that says "Subject", then click on "Backings". The menu as it appears on the site is below.
To celebrate this new product offering, we are giving one lucky person 3 yards of the backing fabric of their choice. All you need to do to enter is tell us which backing fabric you would like to receive - Symphony of Blues or Charlottesville by 11:59pm on Sunday, January 22nd. We will pick our winners on Monday, January 23rd.
Rules: One entry per person. No purchase necessary. To be qualified to win, you must have a mailing address in the US or Canada. You must provide us with a valid email address so that we can contact you if you win. Contest ends 11:59 pm on Sunday, January 22nd.

Jan 22, 2012 at 7:05 PM Symphony of Blues, would be my choice. I love all the fabric I have bought from you.
Jan 22, 2012 at 2:06 PM I would love the Charlottesville. I'm new to Connecting Threads, just setting up my wish list and basket now!
Jan 22, 2012 at 1:46 PM This is my first time on your website and it won't be the last! I am loving what I see and could really put the wide backing fabric to good use. I would really like to win the Charlottesville to finish a vintage quilt I have.
Jan 22, 2012 at 1:29 PM Symphony of Blues! I have a couple projects I need to finish and have promised myself a blue and white quilt once I'm done. This backing would be awesome.
Thanks for the chance to win!
Jan 22, 2012 at 1:27 PM Charlottesville would be very nice. Thank you for the opportunity to win some.
Jan 22, 2012 at 11:05 AM I love the wide quilt backing fabrics. My favorite is Sympony of Blues. Thanks CT!!
Jan 22, 2012 at 9:04 AM I love the Symphony of Blues! Beautiful option for a UFO I have in the stash. :-)
Jan 22, 2012 at 6:32 AM I love the Symphony of Blues line - it is fabulous!
Jan 22, 2012 at 6:29 AM I love them both and am glad to see Connecting Threads selling wide widths for backing. Love both of the fabrics, but would choose Charlottesville
Jan 22, 2012 at 5:52 AM Just in time! I would LOVE to win some of your lovely backing fabric! Symphony of Blues, please!
Jan 21, 2012 at 11:40 PM hi there...never win anything...but I figured it's worth a try! lol I love the Symphony of Blues fabric....
Jan 21, 2012 at 8:35 PM Definitely symphony of blues - it is the perfect excuse to start on another project!
Jan 21, 2012 at 7:22 PM Both beautiful but I would choose Charlottesville.
Jan 21, 2012 at 7:07 PM I choose Charlottesville. I recently purchased the kit and can't wait to make it. Love Civil War fabrics and Charlottesville! That is where I met my husband and we were married there. Thanks.
Jan 21, 2012 at 6:34 PM Charlottesville would be perfect for the quilt I am working on. Thank you for a great giveaway!
Jan 21, 2012 at 5:44 PM Charlottesville fits me like a tee! Thanks for the opportunity and hope to see more backing fabrics!
Jan 21, 2012 at 5:20 PM Charlottesville is my favorite!
Jan 21, 2012 at 3:53 PM Thank you for the lovely giveaway as would enjoy sampling your new backing fabric. The Charlottesville Liberty print is my favorite.
Jan 21, 2012 at 3:50 PM Symphony of Blues
We're happy to see that you are now carry some wide backs.
Jan 21, 2012 at 3:14 PM I'm huge fan of fall colors, so I would choose the Charlottesville!
Jan 21, 2012 at 2:04 PM I love the symphony of blues. Our group makes quilts for chemo patients and that fabric would be soothing and restful. Thank you for having the give away.
Jan 21, 2012 at 1:14 PM Symphony of Blues please!!! Thank you for doing this!!!
Jan 21, 2012 at 12:28 PM Symphony in Blues is beautiful, and thanks for the chance!
Jan 21, 2012 at 12:02 PM Love both of 'em! Since I have to choose, Symphony in Blues it is because it goes well with my recent order of fabric! Thanks!
Jan 21, 2012 at 11:13 AM I will be excited even more when you add more backing to the fabric groups. I have several red, white and blue tops and need backings for them so I choose the "Symphony of Blues". I am afraid that the brown of Charlottesville might not work out.
Jan 21, 2012 at 11:11 AM Hmmmm.....tough choice. But I'd choose the Blue
Jan 21, 2012 at 10:17 AM Ooh - love your backing fabrics. My first choice would be Charlottesville because it would go with anything and also I tend to lean toward historic fabrics.
Of course, I have never won anything in any of these contests but one can always hope.
Linda
Jan 21, 2012 at 9:33 AM Charlottesville-- Oh YUM!!! Love it. I choose Charlottesville because it will compliment any number of fabric combinations. Would love to have it backing my current quilt project. Thanks for the opportunity. I love Symphony of Blues also but right now Charlottesville is my pick.
Jan 21, 2012 at 7:31 AM I love the wide Quilt backing fabric. Only one piece finishes my quilt. Thanks!My favorite is "Liberty" Brown
Jan 21, 2012 at 7:30 AM My husband said he prefers <b>Charlottesville</b>, so that's what I'll choose!
Jan 21, 2012 at 5:47 AM Symphony of Blues!
Jan 21, 2012 at 4:08 AM Symphony of Blues......
I often buy backing for our charity quilts and we do alot of blues. Excellent price.
Jan 21, 2012 at 3:23 AM Symphony of Blues- Another beautiful fabric by Connecting Threads!
Jan 21, 2012 at 3:13 AM I love the Symphony of Blues, but both are equally beautiful.
Jan 20, 2012 at 11:10 PM I would make good use of the Liberty!
Jan 20, 2012 at 8:42 PM Symphony in blue is beautiful and I am excited you are going to carry the backing fabric. Thank you for the opportunity to win.
Jan 20, 2012 at 8:42 PM Winning would be awesome...haven't won anything. Love both of the fabrics...but the Liberty would be nice to back a lot of the "primitive" type quilts that I so like to do.
Thanks for this contest.
Jan 20, 2012 at 8:23 PM I'm a blue fanatic so I would love to receive the Symphony in Blue backing fabric!
Jan 20, 2012 at 8:16 PM I have a quilt just waiting to have this backing as it's companion!! Thank you for the giveaway!
Jan 20, 2012 at 8:01 PM SYMPHONY BLUE would be perfect my my latest project. :) :)
Jan 20, 2012 at 8:00 PM AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jan 20, 2012 at 6:04 PM The Charlottesville backing would work wonderfully with the quilt top I am working on.
Jan 20, 2012 at 5:49 PM I would love to have the Symphony in Blue as I have a Dresdan Plate in Blues that needs to be finished!! That would be perfect!!
Jan 20, 2012 at 5:26 PM It is great to have wide fabric for backing. I hope to see more prints in larger widths. I just received my order, I cannot wait to start sewing.
Jan 20, 2012 at 5:23 PM I love them both but right now I could sure use the Liberty to back two quilts that it would do so well with! Thank you and Good Luck Everyone!
Jan 20, 2012 at 5:10 PM Definitely Symphony of Blue - would go with a variety of my quilts or wallhangings!
Jan 20, 2012 at 5:03 PM Hi, The Charlottessville backing would definitely go with my earth co ours I'm working on these days, but I've just been drooling over the blues in the catalogue. AND I've just received a parcel from CT today and get to check it out AFTER supper!!
Jan 20, 2012 at 4:56 PM Charlottesville, oh what fun to be able to coordinate them now!
Jan 20, 2012 at 4:30 PM definitely would love the charlottesville backing!!!
Jan 20, 2012 at 4:15 PM Symphony of Blue is my pick.
