i quilt for other's alot- many of them use muslin for their backs.,...i do not- i prefer a print or fabric that (goes with) the quilt over plain/solids. also, when using a solid- muslin or not-
every stitch will show- when using a printed fabric the stitches on the back do not detract

I used muslin on my first quilts but changed over. As much time as I spend making the quilt I wanted a pretty back as well. Large scraps blending with the front fabrics probably is my favorite and...I already have them..

Using muslin on the back is a great way to make your stash last longer.
