I use to like white but now I like off white on off white. Use whatever you have or like.

I use every type of white that I have on hand. Sometimes mix cream color with them. I really like the look.

I thought a variety of white on whites would look good in a baby quilt I did last year. I was disappointed as some look dingy against others. I now make sure to have all the same white or white on white fabric to do the whole quilt. Bonnie Hunter uses all kinds of neutrals for super quilts but I have not been successful at it.

I prefer white on white so once I find a nice quality one, I buy up a couple of yards to have on hand.

I like scrappy whites. Someone mentioned having a problem using multiple whites because some ended up looking dull or dingy next to others. That is most likely to happen if you are mixing cool whites with warm whites. The warm whites can end up looking dull/dingy if placed right next to the cool whites-- or the difference between them can be used as a design element-- just depends on the quilt and what effect you're looking for.

I use them both but not usually in the same quilt. When using whites/neutrals, I follow the advice that a long time quilter gave me once. If you are going to mix, use at least 5 different neutrals. Then the differences are spread around the quilt and they look intentional and not a mistake if one happens to age differently. Of course, she was the quilt police and was telling me this after looking at one of my quilts but I think she was right on this one. So I either use a lot of whites or only one white off the same bolt.

Both. I use what ever whites I have at the time. And, sometimes I use numerous whites, white on whites, kona white, fairy frost white....what ever whites I have and want to use up. I like the subtle interest using multiple fabrics creates

I like a good quality bleached muslin when I want white.

I have used both plain white and white on white. I also love to use Kona Cotton Snow which is not quite pure white.

I buy yards and yards of a nice white Kona cotton.
