I use muslin a lot in my quilts. Sometimes it is just the right color, sometimes I use it to embroider on and make blocks. Right now I am using it as a background color for some curtains in the Coxey's Camp pattern that I am making for the bedroom and using the muslini as a liner so the sun doesn't bleach it out. Muslin is a "warm" and "homey" fabric, I think. Edie

PS - For anyone interested, the Coxey's Camp pattern (Quilter's Cache) will give the impression of a Prairie/Craftsman/Frank Lloyd Wright design in that when you look at the curtains, the seams give the impression of leaded glass. My Mom did valances in the Log Cabin pattern and it was awesome.
