I cheated, with all my different whites, I turned them into the free table at Guild. I then proceeded to purchase two bolts of my favorite white fabrics. But I often use neutral batiks together without a problem, the more you add in the better the look.

Oooooh, I love the Converging Corners block. I may have to add that one to my list of scrappy quilts I want to make!
I think that using more than one shade of white/cream often adds more interest to your background areas. I agree that Cathy's quilt would not have been as stunning with only on white in the background.

This blog has several mostly white quilts for inspiration I love the one she did all white and big stitch quilted with bright colored threads.

There is one among patterns from SewCanShe this week that might work with your varied whites. The pattern is Proof Positive Quilt. It is shown with multiple + signs which alternate white and scrappy but perhaps it might work to use your whites as the feature with a constant fabric being where they have the scrappies.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]606267[/ATTACH]This quilt I found the pattern on quilters cache called "Pineapple2" here is the URL for you, if you're interested....... http://www.quilterscache.com/P/Pineapple2Block.html - I added in the white 6.5 inch, between the 6.5 inch blocks, using red/white with a purple center. Paper pieced pattern, good to use up those white stash scraps.
