Kona cottons are great.. I found that Bella solids by Moda tend to fray a great deal. Most fabric stores carry them. Online stores mostly have one or the other. If you go to quiltshops.com and enter what you are looking for in the search engine they have over 200 stores and you can pick the one with the lowest price.

I use Kona cotton by Robert Kauffman. It has more body than others I have tried.

I like whites, unbleached muslins and solids for some projects. I don't believe I've ever used a name brand.

I agree Moda Belle and Kona are both great. I bought Kona solid and then had grandkids draw pictures on a square and then I am going to make a quilt with their square in it.

When I have a solid that I like and need that particular color, I use a similar or contrasting thread and stitch a design on it (sort of like quilting it without the other layers) and then cut it into the size I need. I then have the color I wanted and it is not so flat anymore. Adds dimension and interest.

Clever!!!!

I use KONA cotton too :) I like the color snow.

I prefer to use Kona

I tend to be a tone-on-tone person, it just adds that little lift, especially when I an going to applique something on it. I also like that suggestion of decorating it yourself with tone-on-tone thread or contrasting. Even when I made a cloth doll, the tone-on-tone print kept the "body" from being bare and more of an underwear type characteristic. For the parasol girl block I am working on, it gives a little lacey look behind her.

I use Kona Snow or Kona Ivory. Just love the ivory.
