I find that the solid fabric I can buy for quilting usually but not always isn't the quality of most of the quilting prints that I use. Is there somewhere a person can buy a finer quality solid cotton fabric? What is your favorite solid brand?

I have used the P&B Color Spectrum solids a lot. They have a higher thread count than many other fabrics and are perfect for my purposes. Unfortunately they are not longer available here in Germany and I am going to try the Moda Bella Solids. I don't like the Kona Cottons, they are too coarse for me.

The Kona Solids are kind of coarse and heavy - they wear well, though - on a quilt I made for my daughter,the Kona parts are fine and dandy, the other fabric has worn out!

I think Kona is kind of unwieldy for applique work.

I really like Kona cottons. They hold up so well.

I vote Moda Bella Solids. I use them all the time.
