I'm going to assume that you just quilt and don't usually sew other stuff.
I use leftover muslin as background fabric for a scrap quilt. The various whites always work together.
If you like tote bags or zippered bags, use it as a liner for these.

If you have several different tones of muslin they can be put together to make a very subtle crazy quilt block or any other pattern. The block can be made into a pillow, book cover, potholder, etc.

I use muslin as background for several kinds of blocks. Good for making embroidered blocks, potholders, and small projects. Works well with 30s type quilts. I am old fashioned as you might tell. ;)
