The Cool Grey Textured Wide Backing
Moda Grey Paper Grunge 108-inch wideback brings the signature Grunge tone-on-tone texture print to a soft, silver-grey colorway -- the backing fabric that makes modern, contemporary, and grey-palette quilts look completely designed on both faces. Like all Moda Grunge widebacks, it reads as an elevated solid from any distance while the subtle texture provides close-up visual interest that plain solid backing cannot match. At 108 inches wide, it provides seamless queen coverage in a 100% cotton format that machines and washes like standard quilting cotton.
Where Grey Paper Grunge Works
This backing earns its studio-staple status by serving a wide range of quilt types: modern quilts on grey, silver, and cool neutral palettes; contemporary scrappy quilts where a grey backing provides a clean, sophisticated counterpoint to a colorful top; art quilts on cool-neutral ground; and any client quilt where the customer hasn't specified backing fabric but the top reads as modern or contemporary. It is one of the most versatile cool-neutral backings in the store.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a cool or warm grey?
Distinctly cool -- a silver-grey with blue-cool undertones rather than warm beige-grey. On quilts with warm grey or taupe tops, the Natural Creme Grunge may integrate more naturally. For cool and neutral-grey tops, this backing is the correct choice.
How much yardage per queen?
Approximately 3.25 to 3.5 yards at 108-inch width for generous longarm float margin on a standard queen.
