What is your favorite white fabric?
#22
I love Kona cotton too. Since scrap quilts are my forte, I like to use what I call neutral fabrics--lots of lights--beiges, whites, creams. It makes the quilt top "sparkle." Was hard at first for me to go with different shades of white as I am basically a matchy-matchy person, but when you stand back and look at the quilt, it's amazing how good it looks.

I know that LOTS of people love the Kona solids. They do offer a great variety of colors and the fabric has a nice hand but I don't like the way it looks coming out of the washer and drier. My preference is for white on white tonal but I've learned to really check them before buying. Some have such a heavily painted look/feel that they are stiff. It seems to need to be a sparse, light design. My suggestion would be to be sure to have swatches of your colors with you as the variety of tones is huge!
