Bella solids

[Smg1678]

Hi another question today. I have used two jelly rolls of Bella snow and I really like it....however, I am getting ready to place another order from my Canadian online supplier....I was just going to,order 4 more since you get a deal if you order four or more, when I saw there are a bunch of other ivory/beige shades,,,, there are white, porcelain...not sure if that is close to white, ivory etc.....and I was just wondering what everyone likes the best...so far the only one I have seen in person is the Bella snow??? I don't know if you get tired of using the same shade etc..... I probably overthink my orders and purchases, but I just try to avoid disappointment.


Thanks again...

Here are 4 whites that I bought to make my best choice



Sorry it is sideways. From L to right, 1. Robert Kaufman Kona white 2. Bella solid white 3. Bella solid porcelain, 4. Balla solid snow.

Robert Kaufman snow is more of a cream, not nearly as yellow as Bella solid snow. I didn't have any RK snow when I took this picture, but it is really my favorite. The RK and Bella snow ARE NOT THE SAME Color. Make sure if you are combining jelly rolls and charms or layer cakes that you get the same brand of each, because they are not interchangeable along brand lines.

Bella also has wheat, which is more of a light tan, but it is a nice color also. RJR is now doing solid precuts in white, cream and black. Yet another option to confuse the issue!

Although I think I have bought one or two Bella Solids Charm Packs, I love Kona White. Kona Snow is nice, too. I once used that in a swap using 30's fabrics, and it was pretty. The Kona White is great with brights.. Really sets them off.

CW fabrics, OTOH , look best paired with something warm and creamy.... Even a very small light repro print on something tannish will work....
