Quilts with white in them, noticing them and they are very appealing
#22
I am attracted to quilts that use a solid color or tone on tone in the background. It gives your eyes someplace to rest. I like bed size quilts and they just feel more soothing in the bedroom verses a quilt with everything running into each other. Also, I like the old fashioned abstract quality and vivid designs. This also gives you the opportunity to show off your quilting in the blank areas. I have a bug to do a double wedding ring quilt with batiks in the rings and a dark muslin colored background to replace an older quilt on my bed that is all done in oriental fabric diamonds that has just a white diamond border.

Buy your white fabric wherever you buy your other fabric. Sometimes combining several whites on whites are beautiful too. If you have scraps combining is a great way to use them up. Some of the greatest quilters do that. You can never go wrong with a white on white background with scraps for your pieces - very vintage looking!!

(That is a very nice quilt with white in it with your name.)
That quilt is my hand pieced hand quilted Dear Jane quilt - I used Kona Cotton Cream for the background pieces - thank you for the compliment!
