I agree with this also. I have not had the opportunity to use MMJB, which is why I forgot to mention it in my earlier post. But I know a LOT of quilters that love it, so I agree with Prism, it's definitely worth checking out.
You might check around and see if you can buy a whole bolt. I know every once in a while Fabric Depot (
www.fabricdepot.com) sells bolts and half-bolts of Kona in white, red, and black at a very good sale price. I think bolts usually come 15 or 18 yards (someone help me here?), although I was able to purchase a 22-yard bolt of PFD (prepared for dyeing) muslin.
