i hope the muslin you bought was 108" wide! 5 yards of 45" muslin will not be anywhere close to what you need to back a king size quilt-
kona is a very good brand
muslin is not the same as 'calico's which is what most of our quilting cottons are- there is a difference in the processing of the cotton- muslin has been around for a lot longer than calicos and it does wear very well- and just get softer and softer with every wash- magic fabric at a very inexpensive price!

I am a bit nervous since it was 2.99 a yard and then I had a coupon so 1.50 a yard. It seems soooo cheap...I am wondering how good the quality is, Its from Kona which I was told is a good brand.

I bought a bolt of 102" muslin awhile ago and it seems to go on and on. I don't use it for backings because it doesn't hide the mistakes. I like to use prints for the backings so you can't see my mistakes.
