I just bought 6 yards of white Kona at JoAnns last week. It was not on sale, but I had the 50% off coupon, which is always a better deal than their sale price. It is $5.99/yd. I have a bolt of white muslin, but it is sort of thin for this particular quilt, which is very time consuming. Embroidery and applique are part of the quilt, so I want something that will last and wear well.
