I didn't even think about it not actually being muslin! I had trouble finding the grain line (well, without the selvage, I wouldn't have been able to), it seems like both directions of the material stretch the same amount. Is that how muslin normally is?
This is very much in the spirit of quilting years ago, when women had to make do with what was available. I do think it adds to the charm of a quilt.
