What is the very best solid white cotton?
I have been collecting polka dots for a while now, to make various star blocks with white background and sashing in a quilt for myself. For the last quilt I bought Kona solid white, $9.95/yard), and while it had a nice finish it ravelled (unravelled?) badly. I have to admit I did not wash it before using it. (I just hate how fabrics lose their sleek finish and starching doesn't seem to take it's place for me.)
Is there a really outstanding solid white that someone knows about and can recommend to me?
Thanks a lot for helping me -- this site is definitely my Go-To for all quilt-related matters.

I just finished a quilt using black Kona for the background. I did not like the raveling either. Tired of the black threads all over my carpeting! I would recommend Moda Bella solid. I have used it before and have really liked it. It comes in lots of colors and I believe they may have a few different shades of white.
