I like the look of white on white fabrics, but I don't always like the texture. Also, I wonder how well some of them will hold up to washing. Sometimes it looks like the white is painted on.

I often break another rule and mix whites and off-whites.

I'm not a fan of solids, so I use a white on white.

it is up to you and the pattern you are making. some look better with white on white and some better with a solid white. on boarders I usually use solid white. but that is mostly because I was able to get like 6 yards for like 9 bucks. But I do like the white on white or whitish colors.

I've never used solid white, only white-on-white (for many of the reasons stated in other posts, including the fact that it hides less-than-perfect quilting), but I'm not thrilled with the painted on look either. It finally occurred to me to use the "wrong side" as the right side...a bit softer effect.

I also agree that the white-on-whites I've used seem, well, flimsy. Maybe I need to search for a better quality? Does such a thing exist, or is it the nature of the design?

I'm doing a Dresden Plate baby quilt and I bought Egyptian cotton and I love it.

It depends on the design. I like Kona but if I think the designs needs white on white then I will use that.
