It wears like iron!
That sounds great!!! As long as its stays cuddly

Binding usually is the first think that shows wear.
I agree that is why I asked. I have seen older quilts where the binding is worn through - - even when the binding was double folded. Not sure how many years were in the quilt, but I guess I was hoping to prevent early wear.

ManiacQuilter2 - do you think I could bind with regular cotton fabric if the quilt top is homespun and the backing is muslin? Or would that look like a mismatch of fabric?

Or what do you see as being the best quality fabric?
