I like to use a variety of whites, white on white prints, ecrus, ecru on ecru prints, tans, tan on tan prints, etc. just as long a they are lighter than the ones I want to really show up. The mix makes for a more interesting quilt.

Have you tried something besides Kona solids? Moda bella solids or RJR cotton supreme, or P &B color spectrum are all solids that I believe are really good quality and maybe not quite as heavy as Kona.

I love the White on Whites at Virginia Quilter

They have "enhanced" the photos so that it is easier to see the fabric patterns. These are my go to fabrics. Most are P&B Textiles and are nice quality fabrics. I have bought tons of this - sometimes they are out of what you want - but they always get it back in stock.

In the past I made some quilts with Moda muslin but when I buy the same bolt now the fabric does not seem as thick and has many pieces of the cotton seed shell, little brown specks. Kona again is too thick for my liking to piece with.
