I think that muslin is a perfect choice for a quilt back.
|
I've used it many times and have always been happy with it.
|
I use muslin as a backing on most of my quilts. I just think of it as a good thing because nobody sees it as often.

Yes I have and yes I will use it again in the future, it is so soft when it is washed and it reminds me of my grandmother.

Thanks for all the advice. Muslin it is! There has just been so much talk about making quilt backs "fancy" that I was afraid it was too old fashioned. BUT ... I LIKE old fashioned!

I use it all the time, not always but most of the time. I use to use it only for small wall quilts, but I notice that the quilts you buy in the stores, most of them have muslin backs. I try to buy it by the bolt with my Jo Ann 40% off coupon. I buy the 90 wide and the best quality I can get. My friend uses it also.

I use muslin for my backs almost all the time. Just a few exceptions (son's flannel quilt) It comes in nice wide widths, I savemy 50% coupons for it and it reminds me of old quilts. I prefer uncleached for backs, and I have some bleached for piecing...Wish I could find a buy like yours. smile.......

This is a question within a question. Certainly use the muslin on the back and to piece with. Now somebody mentioned it was boring ,........? Is it possible ti dye the muslin either for the backing or piecing ?.....?

I use extra wide muslin for backing on civil war repro quilts, 30's repro quilts, and wallhangings. I also use it for quilts that are just for me and not gifts.
