Ruby Star Society Speckled Metallic 108" Wideback
Ruby Star Society's Speckled Metallic wideback fabric brings genuine metallic shimmer to quilt backs — a metallic dot-speckle print on solid ground that catches the light beautifully in a finished quilt. The RSS 45" collections are covered in the Ruby Star Society fabric guide, and the full backing landscape in the 108" wideback guide. Available in five colourways:
- Blue Navy — metallic speckle on deep navy; dramatic and formal
- White Gold — gold metallic speckle on white; classic and festive
- Grey Dove — metallic speckle on soft dove grey; sophisticated and modern
- Pink Berry — metallic speckle on warm berry pink; romantic and vivid
- Blue Turquoise — metallic speckle on bright turquoise; tropical and vibrant
Speckled Metallic wideback is the choice for quilts that deserve a sparkling reverse — art quilts, special gifts, show quilts, and any project where the back is shown as much as the front. The metallic construction quilts beautifully with standard thread weights at longarm speeds.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does metallic-print fabric need special needles or thread?
No — the metallic is printed on the fabric, not woven through it, so it quilts exactly like standard quilting cotton with normal needles and thread. All the sparkle, none of the metallic-thread handling.
Which quilts earn a metallic back?
Special-occasion quilts — weddings, milestone gifts, holiday showpieces — plus modern quilts using RSS Speckled in the top, where the metallic back completes the collection. White Gold behind a Christmas quilt is the classic pairing.
How does Speckled Metallic wash and wear?
The metallic print is wash-fast in normal cold-to-warm machine cycles — speckle prints from RSS have been through years of quilts. As with any metallic-accented fabric, skip harsh bleach and high-heat dryer settings to keep the shimmer bright longest.
