You quilt sounds wonderful. Post a picture sometime. I have a quilt that my grandma made over fifty years ago with a white background and it still looks great. Have you seen the Brigitte Giblin website. I'm not computer savvy enough to get you there. Lots of beautiful quilts with white in them.
Here's a pic of my version of Fons and Porters Granny Stars. This is the top only. I haven't taken a pic of it finished yet. Enjoy!
Thanks for the picture, it's very nice.
