I use to keep a bolt of off color white on white as well as a bolt different kinds of white on white. Believe me they went rapidly because I like biggg quilts. Also had a bolt of dark navy with all over gold flakes. Used that one bolt for background in making my super kingsize Christmas tree quilt. It is my Blue Ribbon Winner, Best of Show quilt, then another of the same quilt for my DD and my DGD.
All I want to emphasise is for you to get all you can bolt wise not neccessarily white because you will use it. Also bought a bolt of muslin which I never cared for but this one was a super grade, on sale, and the GM flower garden quilt was crying out for muslin. I like it so much I then made another GD garden done in many shades of purples for myself and using white lace over yellow for the center with lace trim around each flower garden block.
If any of you have a dealer license the quilt store in Batesville, Ar has beautiful fabrics. They wholesale and retail. I found out about them when I had my store and continue to go there as a regular customer. It is hard to go from wholesale purchasing to retail and pay double. I am just glad to be able to go at all.

I get coupons from JoAnns for 40% off and would like to use them on a basic white on white or what ever. What I would like to know is how many yards would you get? I have in mind some applique on squares. Maybe a full size bed. I would only need a general idea so to have on hand when needed.
I will thank you for any answer I get.
