I echo these sentiments. If you want the quilting to show, then the tone-on-tones or solds are wonderful. Personally, I use pretty backs to mimic the pretty front. I even love the pieced backs with fabrics that were used in the top. When spending the effort and money for quality tops, I would not detract by using a lower quality muslin. Before you start throwing tomatoes at me, there are some higher quality muslins that are incredible!

every stitch will show- when using a printed fabric the stitches on the back do not detract
