The Michael Miller cotton couture solids are wonderful. I always check that line first to see if they have the color I want. It has a higher thread count and is very silky and lustrous.

I agree. I made one quilt with plain solids and another with marbled solids. Don't know if it was all Maywood Studios, don't really care, I just know they were fabrics with some texture. The solid quilt looks soooooo flat and uninteresting! I much prefer the color variations and textures of the marbled prints. Makes for a much prettier quilt.

You are going to get different opinions on brand name just like guys have their favorite car line. I have always used RK Kona Cotton. I don't buy from anywhere where the label on the bolt is not from the manufacturer. Those fabric are 2nd quality fabrics.

This conversation has been on this blog many times, but, maybe it needs to be on one more time. Fabric names (Kona, Bella, RJR, etc) do not make 'different' versions of their fabric. This would compromise their integrity. We have had representatives from RJR discuss this on this blog. If they make other types, they are named different. So, if you buy a basic Kona grey at ANY, ANY store, it will be the same fabric. If the label has a different name or fabric content, then yes, it is different. But same name, same content = same fabric (but often wildly different pricing).

I love Northcott too. They ARE hard to find. Sometimes I will have better luck finding them at fabricdepot.com, which carries the Northcott Brand. Their Stonehenge line is very pretty too.
