no quilt police here! i have done that also. no biggy. use what you have!
the best thing i had done was use a 50% off coupon and go in with a friend and buy a 90 wide muslin bolt. quick and cheap. i like both the bleached and un-bleached types. sure is nice to not have to piece the backs, or spend money i don't really have to buy matching fabrics for the backs! i don't usually go over 90 wide,since i quilt them myself. when i do make a bigger one, i go in and get the 108 wide muslin, with a coupon and just get what i need.
