Love, love, love using muslin, the unbleached and well as the bleached (white). There are a lot of different ones out there so learn to tell the good ones from the not so good. They also offer some in permapress that are yummy to use.

muslin just gets better & better with use & laundering! it makes the softest- most wonderful quilts- whether it is used as a backing, part of the piecing or a whole cloth! i always have yards of good muslin on hand- it also dyes beautifully - so if i want it to be a certain color i can just make it what i want it to be

Muslin is the basic quilting fabric........I use it for white or natural background in piecing and always use it on my backs....when it is washed it feels like marshmallow...soft and squishy.......I hate the white fabric that is "painted" with a design....eventually that paint wears off and you have plain white muslin.....
