Welcome from the central valley of California.
Muslin has been used for years and years. Look at some of the older quilts, most of the backs were made of muslin. I will admit that today I mostly use well washed sheets, and some of them come in such lovely colors and patterns that you can match almost anything. But muslin is traditional for backing quilts.
