Default Fabric Questions

I am looking for white fabric, that has a small red pattern of some kind on it and just can't find anything. I want to use it for background, but don't want to use a solid white. Any recommendations on where to look?

I have seen a fabric called "Lisette" at Joann's. Is this suitable for quilting?

It says the Lisette collection is 100% cotton, so I would say yes, it's good for quilting.

Look at fabric.com and thefatquartershop.com. On both sites I typed in 'red white' and each of them had several options with white background and various red prints such as dots, stripes, stars, damask, chicken coop lattice etc.

This is the first place I look online when searching for a specific fabric:

http://www.quiltshops.com/search.htm

In the search box, type red white and click on Thumbnails. There are 77 pages of fabrics that match this search. However, not all will be just white fabrics with a red print, but there are many. Click on the thumbnails to see larger swatches.
