The outstanding Frankenstein stacked coins quilt recently posted by nanabirdmo got me wondering ...What's your favorite brand muslin to use in your quilts?

I like the Kona premium and Legacy muslins. I recently bought some Bella that is 200 count. It feels nice, but haven't used it yet. I usually can find what I want on sale either online or at Joann's.

Glad you asked this question. I've thought about that myself! (Wasn't that a gorgeous quilt?)

Just bought 2 bolts of Roc Lon 50/50 bamboo and cotton, 200 ct. Feels really silky. Haven't used it yet. Was reasonably priced with 50% off coupons.

I buy Ron loc the 404 and 403 ( one is the bleached and the other the unbleached) , the numbers are on the end of the bolt. I typically buy them by the bolt. It is their permenant press , pre- shrunk ( but there is still a bit of shrinkage) .
I like as it does not wrinkle nearly as bad as some of the others, has a nice weight, and the shrinkage is comparable to other premium cottons.
That company make many different grades/quality so do read the end of the bolt.
