I used the "snow" kona cotton for my dresden plate. My aunt had some vintage blocks made up by her mother in the early 1900's. By the time it was washed, it looked just right. The picture shows the quilt before washing.
I bought my Kona from Hancocks-Paducah. The quality is so much better than from JoAnns, etc.
