If you use muslin and want a color, why can't you dye it to match some colors used in the front? Seems to me this would work. If you want to get really funky, it could be tie dyed to. Anyone ever try this?

I did use it when I started quilting but found I like to match the back to a color used in the front. Makes it so much nicer
|
Have used it several times just depends what I have on hand.

been quilting for 15 yrs and have always used muslin with a few exceptions . i get it by the bolt at joanns with 40% off, 108" wide, very handy and i like the feelof it i get the unbleached.

I'm new to the Quilting Board and I am really enjoying everyone's feedback. I do hand quilting and I use Muslin for quilt backs all the time. I love the design on the back of the quilt as much as the quilting on the front.

I'm new to quilting, and like the classic look of muslin, but really love how the chosen backing often complements the quilt. In the few quilts I've done the backing and binding are made of the same fabric, and it brings out the colors in the quilt.

I've used the Tea-dyed.
