    Arrow Tell me your favorite and why?! 😊

    I'm really loving the trend of modern quilts and fabrics offset with white as the background or sashing. Please share your favorite white fabric and why you love it! Do you prefer a warmer white or a cooler one? That kind of stuff. Of course MSQC is the first place to shop, but if you prefer a fabric they don't carry (not likely! &#128521, please share where you purchase it 😀😀😀
    Thanks in advance! ❤️

    I use Kona and Bella Whites. They are different shades of white as perceived by each company. I buy mainly all of my whites and blacks from MSQC with one exception. If I see a great sale at another merchant I will purchase there. Picked up a great deal on white yardage at one merchant and a fantastic deal of white layer cakes from another merchant. Won't pass up a great bargain.

    I buy Bella Solids by Moda #9900-98. To me it's WHITE which I like and MSQC has it in charms, layers, rolls and yardage usually so I can get what I need. Beyond that I also like to use white on white prints too, which I usually get from JoAnns.

    I like Kona snow. It is not blinding white, more to the cream and seems to be perfect with a lot of print backgrounds. I buy it wherever I am, I bought some while shop hopping thinking it was a perfect white then got home to realize that I already had several yards of the same thing. It won't go to waste.

    For creamy white I like using muslin. For white I like Kona Snow, $6.99 yd at fatquartershop. It looks very white next to muslin but is not quite as white white as a piece of copy paper. I would say it is about the same shade of white as quilt batting. The white warm and natural not the cream.

    Thank you all for the great answers! Really helps me get an idea of what is like to use. I'm thinking I may pick up charm packs first to decide which white I like best and that works well with the more modern color palette. ����
