What I've found is that you can either find cream colored batiks with a yellow hue or light batiks with a grey hue, there are even some with a peach hue. I have enjoyed using the Tonga Lace line which is creams. If you think about it, it can't be a true white batik. There wouldn't be any contrast to show up the design so you can decide which undertone would work best in your quilt. Hancocks of Paducah carried the line.
