Hi! Definitely Kona snow or any of the Kona. They are Kaufman fabrics. Yes, it is sometimes called broad cloth but it is very nice fabric. Not like the other broad clothes out there. If you want white on white get some good quality made by a manufacture that makes quilt fabric.

I prefer the Kona solid snow for 1930 quilts and some of the more modern style quilts. Some the other like bone are nice for Civil war reproducation quilts. I personally do not use the true white as I find it too stark.

What would you recommend hun? If you have a link to your favorite white fabric handy I would really appreciate that.
