Believe it or not, this thread gave me courage that I do not absolutely have to have colored quilt backing for the new quilt I am making for our grandson (

I wish I had the muslin I bought for a friend of mine who recently had to break up housekeeping and go to a nursing home. I know her kids and grandkids do not quilt and so it is lying in somebody's attic somewhere. Maybe I should get up the courage to ask for it back, but have been shy to do that. What would you do?
Now that I remember my own mother's and grandmother's quilts, they all had muslin backs.
