What Fabric For "White"?
#41
I would consider myself an "intermediate" quilter and I don't like using muslin for white. I like to use a white on white patterned fabric. It seems to have more stability. I don't know if anyone else agrees but it is an idea for you.

You will find even though white on white cottons may look too busy in the brightly lighted stores, they will probably be perfect for what you think of as busy colored tones. I have taken a fat quarter of each home as a test in the past if you live close enough to the fabric store. The white on whites really don't look too busy when you get them home.

You'll be able to spot it, because all the Kona cottons (that I've seen) are solid colors, so just look for a bunch of solid colored fabrics.
White on white is always nice looking.

If you have trouble seeing which side is the "right" side of a white on white fabric just use a black light (you can find them on e-bay and Petsmart, etc). The back will be flat and the pattern on the front leaps out at you.
