Aunt, if you don't like the broad cloth, what kind of fabric would you suggest for my basic colors like white? I don't want my quilts to look shabby because I didn't buy the right kind to begin with and in the end it would be a waste of money and while I love a deal like anyone else I hate wasting money even more. :)
Thank you ladies. I appreciate all the feedback!
Try going to connecting threads. They have their own brand of fabric, made in America and many pattern lines to choose from. This will help give you some ideas.
I don't really, and never did have a "basic " stash. If I found a fabric I loved, I would purchase it and build around it for whatever pattern I was going to use. Hope this helps a little.
peace
