I have used Kona cottons for ages and loved them, but I find they are a little thicker fabric than most of my cottons. I have lately been buying Waverly cottons from WalMart but their white is not a true bright white like I usually like. It has worked really well with my quilts though and the price and fabric are really good for what I make. I am not making heirloom quilts so the cheaper fabric is working well with me. I love Waverly in everything else so I am trusting these quilts will hold up to repeated washing.
