Sorry, I am right out of time, I need all I can get myself! I haven't ever been that successful with the muslin we can get here. It seems stiff, and I use it for the backing of wallhangings, but never for quilts. If I wash it, I find it impossible to iron it smooth, even if I iron it when wet.

I think it would be lovely. Just get good quality muslin.

I agree, those would look great on unbleached muslin. Depending on the other fabrics I see, I like the look of the tea stained muslin too.

Yes, I also use it frequently. For backings and for backgrounds. Love your Sues.

Definitely prewash and get out of the dryer quickly. It wrinkles like crazy.

I also like to use muslin. I use it for all of the backs of my quilts.I also used it on the front of the tie quilt that I made and on a Sunbonnet Sue quilt. I hand quilt and I like muslin because it really shows off the hand quilting. I buy a good quality muslin by the bolt. It is a little expensive, but to me well worth it.
