Linda,
I was just looking at these this morning. No affiliation, no experience with them, but I have had the bookmark for awhile so they have been doing business for a bit.

Hope this helps.

Is that expensive, girls, for backing - $20 per yard? Or not. Loved the fabrics anyhow.

Then Bronnie asked:
Bronnie,
Ah, but it is 108 inches wide, approximately two and a half times as wide as "regular width" fabric. And batiks frequently run a bit more $ $ than regular cottons. It is a tighter weave and a more labor intensive process.

Not sure how it compares to the above suggestion, but I've gotten 'fatbacks' from

And been very happy with the selection, the price and the shipping. (They crammed everything iI ordered in to one flat rate priority mail box which made me very happy.)

Bronnie,
I have seen it from $15.99 to $17.99 per yard 108" wide. There are a few quilt shops around here that carry it but it is pretty common online too.
Peace,
