Default Reviving an old quilt - Muslin question.

I have an old quilt my grandma made for me many years ago. It's been "well" loved over the years and has become quite worn. I had taken apart the sandwich thinking I could just replace the worn spots and put on a new back. It's a little farther gone than I thought. My new plan is to back the top with muslin for support and then quilt with a thin batting and muslin for the backing. Here is my question....I've never really used muslin and I've read that some are very poorly made, etc. Can anyone tell me what types of muslin they have had good luck with? I will prewash to minimize shrinking as I'm positive the top has no more shrinking to do.

Thank you!
