I'd say use the color(s) that you want.... |
I guess I am in trouble, too. I love the fresh look of white. I use it way more than I do off white or creams. I use what I like so I guess that is all that matters!

If/when we can't use white, maybe we'll be allowed to use white-on-white, antique-white, paper-white, pure-white, winter-white, off-white, alabaster-white, cream, eggshell, natural, bone, linen, ivory, snow, ice, birch, porcelain, oyster, pearl, ecru, bisque, sand, shell, oatmeal, mushroom, almond, vanilla . . .oh wait, already did!
Use what you like and enjoy! |
I like using the white on whites, they are a little heavier and other fabrics don't show through as much, the same with battings :D:D:D Does this make me a rebel???? LMBO

I love the off white and use it often as I make a lot of 30' reproduction quilts and it looks great with the 30' fabrics. :roll: |
maybe becausew it is a real vibrant color and one should use it sparingly :thumbdown: I WILL USE IT IF i HAVE IT AND WANT TO USE IT :thumbup:

be careful with loose threads that might cling to the batting--they'll show through the white in the quilt blocks. I have used white before--(of course i prewashed the fabrics)--my only problem was a thread that got sandwiched in the quilt--and it is visible behind the white fabric.

Sounds like the self appointed quilt police. White fabric has been used in quilts going way back in time.
My personal choice would be plain white over white on white as I have had some of the printing flake off or turn yellow over time. However I still use it sometimes and put the printed side on the inside. |
