I like using white in my quilts. It also gives handquilting in particular a wonderful showcase. I avoid white on white designs as many of them are hard to handquilt through. I just sashed a small quilt entirely in white. The blocks were 9 patches made from a white on white batick and colored batick prints. I purchased the package of about 30 blocks already made from a lady getting out of the quilting hobby. It will make a wonderful Linus quilt.
