I love the look of muslin for a relaxed, country or primitive look. I use it for backs when I want something cheap. I also like to bleach it, and tea or coffee stain it.
This is my BOM from a few years back. Buggy Barn Star Struck and Unbleached cotton. I need to take a pic of the back since it was pieced with unbleached and leftover fabrics and blocks.

I never worry about the quilt police. I'm sure I'd have been imprisoned many times over if they ever caught me. I just do my own thing and haven't really been disappointed yet. I don't think any of my quilts are show quality so I'm really not worried about the quilt police. Again, thanks Glenn. I do hope I've improved tho as that one was my very first and I have done many since then.

Not to knock my own quilt, but that really isn't that great of a photo. There are many different fabrics in it, but it's hard to tell from the photo. I will try to retake the pic and post a better one showing the detail.
