I agree that some of the white or cream colored tone on tones are very thin and cheap feeling. I sometimes use different tone on tones in one quilt and while I am trying to concentrate on style and design, I have to be really careful I don't accidentally buy these cheaper style fabrics even at a higher end quilt fabric stores. Why so they always seem to be more common in the lighter colors? Since I like to use prints for my background Kona cottons don't work.
