Thank you for the advice and the links on the white cotton. I was eyeing that snow white, but thought I should just get the plain white. I think I have changed my mind again and will go with that snow white instead! I am so excited to start collecting 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.
