Muslin for backing
It dawned on me today just how good muslin is to back a quilt. I was in the mood to complete a quilt today and I searched around for a fabric for backing. I came across some muslin that I bought on a whim ( seemed like a good idea at the time purchase) so I laundered it and got cracking. Now this is the second time I have used muslin and lo and behold it felt very nice, comforting as a backing. I don't know why I don't use it more often as it really has a beautiful, soft feel to it. Anyone else prefer muslin to cotton as a backing?

I'm not really sure how to shop for good quality muslin. Washing can bring about surprises -- limp, thin fabric. A while back, someone mentioned something about a good quality muslin that she purchased at JoAnn's Fabric.
