While you can't get wholesale if you are not a business I have found that many quilt shops do discound fabrics that are going out of season. I personally have never bought 90 inch backing as the patterns for backing are very limited and I don't like them.
It is permissible in quilting and very common to simply piece 45 inch material...so for 90 inches you would have Probably 3 pieces of material...2 of 45 inch and then one of several inches to make up how ever many inches of overhang you need. For instance if you are machine quilting you usually need 6 inches of overhang...the big question is
You need 90 inches by how much?

I can't tell you where to get it at wholesale prices, but if you check some of the online shops, they'll have different ones on sale. You need to keep checking back because it's constantly changing.
Also, if you need to use regular fabric and piece it check out the last link below. It shows how to cut the fabric diagonally to waste less when you need to piece a quilt backing. It can save you a LOT of money. This is a PDF file that contains the formulas to determine if you can do this based on the the width of fabric and quilt. If you're hesitant to open that, you can scroll down and see a description of the process on the second to last link. Look for "Diagonal Seamed Back."
By the way, I would not recommend using a sheet or muslin. Muslin is usually a lesser quality, and will wear faster than the top. It also isn't very pretty. Sheets are usually much more tightly woven than cotton quilting fabric, and are harder to quilt through.

This is such an open ended question.If you have a quilt shop nearby stop in there and look at the fabric and see what the prices are.If you only have a Joanns then of course the fabric will be less expensive. There are some great patterns for quick and easy baby quilts out there-some use minimum fabric and some call for more.Great Big Star is an easy one and doesn't require a lot of fabric. It can be done as inexpensively as you want-thread prices range as does batting and fabric. It can be anywhere from $20-50. Just make sure you do a label for the back so the baby knows who made the quilt.

Have you looked into a fabric co-op group? I'm part of one that buys from several manufacturers, which include 90" wide quilt backing. If you really want it close to wholesale prices, you may need to buy by the bolt.
And you'd need to expect to pay for shipping to you from her, and shipping to her from the manufacturer. Plus our group charges a cutting fee for yardage below the bolt rate. Check it out here:

The traditional backing for a quilt is muslin. You can pick that up dirt cheap, if you watch the sales.
Get on Joann's mailing list for the 40% and 50% off coupons.
And if you must have 90 inches wide, use a sheet.
