    Default Who has the "whitest white" solid background fabric?

    There is a quilt I would like to make, but would like to use the whitest white background fabric with it. For you more knowledgeable quilters, can you give me some suggestions of what you may have found to be a very bright white.

    It really depends on the other fabrics as well, but many people pick Kona Snow over White.

    Bleached premium muslin is about as white as white can get.

    Kona "white" is the whitest white. Moda has a Super White Bella #436 that is so white, it's almost blue. Next is Bella #97 Bleached White pfd (prepared for dying). Then Bella #98 White Bleached is next in line.

    You can go to https://www.robertkaufman.com/fabric...age=5#products and https://my.modafabrics.com/shop/sear...chType=keyword to compare.

    I use a bleached muslin. I love the purity of it.

    All of the major lines of solids have a pure white, but I don't know all the names they go by. I just used the Century Solids by Marcus white, which is called cotton ball.

    Thank you quilters. I appreciate the input. That gives me some options to chose from.
