I second this....It's less transparent and you can find great tone-on-tone that shows solid. The plain white just seens too plain for me.

You could buy a nice grade muslin at Jo Anns Or possibly even Wal Mart. I am going to make a white quilt using muslin it is a good long lasting fabric used for years and years by the early quilters.

I use the white tone on tone fabric. It gives the white background some texture. Always buy it when my LQS has
it on sale. Even like the off white tone on tone better.
White seems so stark. But it depends on the quilt and each individuals taste.

I like to use white on white sometimes - it looks pretty and adds just a little eye interest.
