That's my preference too :D

I'm with Peg. I like to use a W-O-W print. It is subtle, but adds a certain something that you just don't get from plain solid white or bleached muslin. Just MHO.

I like white on white.

depends on the project---i've used plenty of muslin- i love Kona Snow-
i like white on whites-
when i need a white i go shopping- touch them- look at them-- and choose the one i want for that project- varies day to day- project to project

the way to know which is the right side of WOW is when you are sitting down at the machine and using pieces of WOW, put the WOW piece on top of your thigh and you will easily be able to tell. The right side really shows up and the wrong side is dull. Has something to do with getting it out of the light.

When I say I use Kona I mean Robt. Kaufman Kona, not the kona from Joanns. It frays a lot.

My first preference is white on white and I like to mix all different patterns. I have been gifted with a ton of white cotton broadcloth, so guess what will be the background of my scraps quilts for quite some time? My supply may even outlast me!

I always thought Kona, since it is a brand name, is Kona, regardless of where you buy it or how much you pay for it. I know this comes up time and again, but according to the manufacturer, they are the same. Is this not the case? I know the numbers and labels from the bolts are the same if you get the same colors no matter where from, so how are we supposed to tell which is the good one and which isn't?

Kona cotton or a good grade muslin. Use a lot of pfd white fabric and buy that by the bolt. That way I have any color I need, simply dye it or paint it.

Me too. I just bought some more Kona for another quilt.
