Don't you just love Gwen Marston? I love to use solids. I've seen a lot of people using Kona white and Kona ash for borders and basically they go with so many fabrics (of course). A clerk at one of my favorite quilt shops said she doesn't like Kona as much as P&B solids for applique because it frays (Kona has a lower thread count).
