I tend to not be as fussy about how "pretty", the backing is, but I do want it to hold up, as well as the front.
I actually, bought quite a bit of muslin, not too long ago, to use for backings on some of my smaller stuff. Don't know If I will use as a backing for a quilt that goes on a bed though. I like some color to those.
If I used it on the front, I might.
I tend to be a bargain shopper, but starting to 'up', what I will pay for fabrics, bc I am noticing so many, 'cheap', made fabrics. It's very disappointing to spy a pretty one, only to get a closer look and see all those grainy lines, and then run you hand under the single layer, and see your fingers through it :roll:
