I just recently bought bleached muslin locally at Hancock's Fabrics (not Paducah), it was around $2.00yd. It is beautiful!! It is for the back of a quilt that I am hand quilting. I wanted something finer than Kona (it's a little thick for hand quilting IMO) I was afraid that after washing it, I would find it lacking, but I am so pleased with it. It is soft and not too thin and that price is amazing! It is 100% cotton. If you have a Hancocks nearby you might want to take a look.
