will muslin hold up?
#1
on the back of a quilt?
And do any of you use old bedspreads or blankets in place of batting?
Just wondering, I never have with either but I was at Goodwill today in Lewiston and saw a lot of muslin and old blankets.

Ive used musllin. My quilts are still fairly new- less than a year old so I really cant comment on longevity of the muslin.. I just made sure I used a 'better' muslin..

muslin has been backing quilts for almost 200 years- holds up just fine- just buy quality muslin.
and for utility quilts many people recycle any number of things for their quilts- flannel sheets- old blankets- ... quilters are quite famous for recycling :thumbup:
