Default confused about muslin mate fabric by moda

is this a muslin fabric or a "normal" quilt fabric?? I am still looking for background fabric on a 1800s reproduction quilt.
thanks for reading

Have you thought about sending Moda an email and asking them about it? That way you could get the information directly from the manufacturer. I haven't heard about it, but I'm a SABLE and trying to only shop my stash!!

It's an off-white tone-on-tone print fabric. They have a huge number of prints in their line.

Here's a pdf from Moda that may help you. Is your address the same? G

Thank you all so much. The links are perfect and I love the Linen closet line by henry glass. Since I never made a repro fabric quilt I just wonder how bright the background fabric has to be to show off the applique?
I went through the search function of this board for hours to look at repro quilts but there are hardly any closeups where I could see the background fabric.

It's a fabric that goes well with muslin fabric -- that's why its called "Muslin mate".
