I hate to spend the money for batik for the backing...however, I do want it to look nice and not take away from the quilt.
Your thoughts? Thanks!
I am using a lot of Roc-lon(tm) 200 count muslin. It is 107/108 in. wide, 100 percent cotton muslin, permanent press finish. and preshrunk. I buy Style #5140 bleached an d Style # 5139 unbleached. Very nice feel to the fabric and I have purchased several bolts of the and always been happy with it.
