I use good quality muslin also. If I can find a print for cheap or 108" on sale I will use that. I do like muslin especially on a older looking quilt it just makes it more old looking. Now with the prices I may use muslin more.

I use both but on quilts that are made for patterns from the 30's, muslin seems to be the most appropriate. I do use a nice weight muslin. The man that does the LAQ for me does not really agree about the muslin but it is my quilt!

I mostly do traditional blocks for my quilts, so I use a good grade muslin for the backing. Muslin is what my G'ma and my Mom always used. If I do a more modern quilt, I like to use a print that matches the quilt top.
