I personally love muslin. It is so soft, easy to work with both in hand and machine quilting and it gives it the "vintage look" that I like. I have also used the 108" fabric and it it wonderful. No piecing on the back. Just use what you want....get creative....it all works. :)

I also use walmart's muslin for backing.........it is less than 5 bucks a yard and is 90 inches wide.........100% cotton and permanent press. It is so soft after it is washed. It is great for tied as well as hand or machine quilting.

I always use the quilt quality fabric- pieced or backing width. My grandmother was a professional seamstress and she told me if I was going to put all this time and work into a project, use the best I could afford. Otherwise, why bother. So, I do fewer projects, use the best stuff, and handquilt almost everything. I also use cotton batting. The polyester beards too much.
Use what will make your project turn out the way you want it.
