I use muslim on the quilts i keep and will be using myself. I also use muslim on all my petnapper quilts. When making a quilt for someone else, I try to find something nice for the back, as long as it is reasonably priced. I was able to get nice muslim the other day that was on sale for only 2.09/yd at Hancocks. Had to buy 5 years for my petnappers. I like the way it feels and looks after it's been washed a few times.

I use muslin for most of my quilts. I love the traditional look it gives them and buy it by the bolt when i have a coupon at joann's. I only buy the kona or really nice stuff so it will hold up for a long time.

I love the look of muslin on the back, esp after someone has done beautiful quilting,the pattern shows through so nicely. I'm not experienced enough to know what I like to work with best and my machine quilting is still at a beginner level.
