I did think about using muslim, but decided to go the cheap route of using something I already had on hand, and newspaper was what I had, I was also a little concerned about the weight and quilting it if I used muslim and then also used minky to back it. It probably would not make any difference really. I used a paper cutter for cutting my paper blocks and it was pretty quick, it was a labour of love ripping the paper off, but I made sure my stitch length was short so it came off very easily, and in a weird way it was therepeutic ripping off all that paper!
