Wide Back Digital Print Fabric in MDG Designs
MDG Digital prints in the 108-inch wide back format combine the photorealistic detail of digital inkjet printing with the full-width coverage of wide back yardage. At 108 inches wide, a single yard backs a quilt without piecing or seaming. Designs in this collection include novelty, seasonal, farm, and holiday patterns produced on cotton and cotton-blend base cloths, available at wholesale and retail pricing.
Why Choose the 108-Inch Format
Standard quilting fabric runs 44 to 45 inches wide. Piecing together a quilt backing from 45-inch yardage requires seaming multiple widths and adds both cutting time and visible seam lines to the finished project. The 108-inch format eliminates that entirely.
One yard of 108-inch wide MDG Digital fabric covers approximately the same area as three yards of 36-inch fabric. For a lap quilt, two to two-and-a-half yards of 108-inch wide back fabric is typically sufficient. A queen-size quilt backing generally requires three yards. Exact yardage depends on your quilt’s finished dimensions and desired overhang.
About the MDG Digital 108-Inch Collection
The 108-inch MDG Digital line features the same digitally printed novelty and seasonal designs available in the standard 45-inch format, scaled and produced for wide-back applications. Design categories include:
Farm and country novelty prints with animals, barns, and agricultural scenes
Holiday and seasonal prints for Christmas, fall, and patriotic projects
Nature and botanical prints in detailed floral and landscape styles
Coordinate and blender prints suited to backing any pieced quilt top
Pattern availability in the 108-inch format rotates seasonally. Not all 45-inch MDG Digital designs are produced in the 108-inch width. Current in-stock designs are shown in the product grid above.
Pricing and Buying Options
108-inch MDG Digital fabric is sold by the yard at wholesale and retail price points. Wholesale pricing is available for qualifying accounts. Retail buyers may purchase by the yard with no minimum cut required on most patterns. Per-yard pricing is listed on individual product pages.
Cut yardage is non-returnable. Purchase the full quantity needed for a project in a single order to ensure dye lot consistency across all cuts.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 108-inch MDG Digital print fabric?>

It runs 108 inches wide and is produced on cotton and cotton-blend base cloths using digital inkjet printing. Designs include novelty, seasonal, farm, and coordinate patterns.

What is the difference between 108-inch MDG Digital and 108-inch MDG Classics?>
108-inch MDG Digital features photorealistic and novelty digitally printed designs that rotate seasonally. 108-inch MDG Classics are long-running coordinate, blender, and tone-on-tone designs in consistent colorways that remain in production outside of seasonal schedules. Both run 108 inches wide and are sold by the yard as wide back fabric suited to quilt backings and large-format projects.
What is the difference between 45-inch and 108-inch MDG Digital fabric?>
The 45-inch width is the standard dimension for quilt tops, garments, and pieced sewing projects. The 108-inch width is designed for seamless quilt backings and large-format panel work where avoiding seam lines is the priority. Both are available in MDG Digital print designs, though not every 45-inch pattern is produced in the 108-inch format.
How much 108-inch fabric do I need for a quilt backing?>
For a lap quilt approximately 60 x 80 inches, two to two-and-a-half yards of 108-inch wide fabric is typically sufficient. A queen-size quilt backing approximately 90 x 108 inches generally requires three yards. Exact yardage depends on your quilt’s finished size and preferred backing overhang.
