I don't usually use muslin for the backing but I do quilting for others that use it and I am growing more partial to it. The better quality really does up nice. Shows off quilting too.

I use muslin for projects and for purse or tote linings. I prefer muslin colored fabric for my quilts. I buy it on clearance for about the same price as good quality muslin.

I use muslin for piecing, quilt backs and will be giving it a try for dyeing and fabric painting too :D:D:D

I never use muslin. Like to use prints.

I don't use muslin on the back. I like color on the back so I use a coordinating fabric.

I use muslin all the time for backs of quilts. It feels so soft after it has been washed. It is also inexpensive. I also use muslin for backgrounds for tops. Since I got so much fabric when I was in Georgia I will probably use a lot of that yardage for backs and hold off on muslin for a while.

I use muslin for backing everything but baby quilts. For those I use fabric that matches the quilt. I also use it for background for applique, especially 30's fabric.

I use muslin all the time bleached, unbleached, and also tye dye I think that it makes everything look old fashioned

For me, this is one of the must have's. Purchase either when on sale or with a coupon by the bolt. Use it for everything.

I use a good quality muslin when handquilting because the hand stitching looks so nice on the back.
