My dearly departed sister made blocks using muslin and I acquired it and finished it. I loved the muslin look. I bought muslin for the back and think it turned out beautifully. She appliqued stars to the muslin and satin stitched around each one. I gave it to my daughter. I can't remember how many stars there were, but there were a ton of them. It really looked old fashioned with the muslin and I loved the look. Now I'm wanting to use muslin more and more for the old fashioned look.
