me too. that's the only thing i use for the backing on my quilts, all 200 of them. about. i get mine by the bolt at joanns with my 40 or 50% off coupon. i get the 108, or the ll8". the best quality i can find. it usually starts off at 13.99 a yrd, i do believe. if i remember correctly. I used to special order it, and specify 200 count muslin. but the last time i got it thru the mail, the quality wasn't as good. so i just go into joanne's and look, and feel it. some of it looks just like high quality bed sheets. a quilting teacher years ago suggested this. and so, i use my energy and creativity on the top.
