I agree - white on white and cream on cream are hard to find.

Here is a link to the BFF (Best Friends Forever) fabrics... they are not coming until May (if they are on time) but we have them available for pre-order now.

They're very different than anything else I have ever seen... and the sales rep said that they were very well-received at Quilt Market last fall.

I've always wanted to make one of those runners - I even have the ruler - but somehow I just never got around to trying it out!

I am really loving the patriotic colors and patterns and I am really loving the civil war colors and patterns - but I cannot pass up any moda pre-cut (maybe a few) - I love how the pre-cuts are coordinated and when I make quilts with them - I always get compliments about how well the colors worked (my secret). Good luck and if you are online let us know.

I agree a good collection of white on white or off white is always much needed. I like brights, batiks including really light ones and very dark ones. Samples of quilts made with the fabric's always create a really good mood in a shop, and add inspiration to the customers.

I agree, I recently went to 4 shops looking for the right whitish cream, none of them really had it. Oh and any time I see that nice soft yellow I buys yards and yards of it.
