I love the tone on tone whites, but can hardly find them. I use plain and printed and muslin if that is what the pattern calls for. I purchase the muslin by the bolt for the backing of the quilts.

I LOVE Kona solids. I don't use anything else. My favorite is their SNOW, it is a real nice soft white.

I use muslin if I want it solid, but usually use white on whites or cream on cream

Chay - love your quilt
