Is this fabric suitable for quilt backing?

Yes. It is 100% cotton at 44 inches wide, so a full-size back usually needs a seam, but the large print hides it well.

By the yard, cut continuously from the bolt.

Big Shelly, a large-scale shell design from Tula Pink's Floral Reef collection.

Can I use it for clothing or home decor?

It is a quilting-weight cotton, so it suits light garments, bags and small home projects more than upholstery.

Machine wash cold and tumble dry low, as with most quilting cottons; prewash if you plan to wash the finished quilt.
