I have often wondered if this hasn't been a big draw for the modern quilt movement. Eons ago inexpensive plain muslin was the background fabric for the pretty calico quilts of bygone days.
Like you peaceandjoy I seldom use solids. I am more likely to use a fabric that reads solid but gives a little more depth to the piece.
