What to do with muslin?
The homespun question prompted me to ask about muslin. I have 50 yards of bleached high quality muslin. We are preparing to move. I only make quilts anymore. Any reason to save it? It's all the same color and on the same bolt. HEAVY. Ideas anyone?

I back a lot of my bed quilts with muslin. With the bed made, you never see the back, and the quilting looks so nice. Same thing with table runners and wall hangings. I save my pretty backing for throws, where you are going to see both sides.

Great advice. I will make room for it in the keeper pile(s). I make about 100 quilt tops a year for charity and I won't hesitate to make use of it thanks to your kind input. The Quilt Police will just have to get over it!
