I'll chime in for Kona Snow. It "reads" white, but is not as stark,
staring white as a paper white or bright-white. Perfect when you want
an air of mellowness without muslins darkness or speckles.

I remember the review of different black fabrics not so long ago. I have
a red and white repro quilt coming up in the future and I would like to
get a good quality white fabric for it. I would be willing to buy a whole
bolt. I know that I would end up using it. Not looking for an optical
white; just regular white better than the muslin that is falling apart on
the original quilt.

Other news, I have started a new job and I will be out of town for two
months during training. I won't be posting as much, but hopefully will be
able to read the NG a little on my DH's laptop. I will have email
working. I will be in the No. Virginia area (Dulles/ Sterling). The
company is putting me in an efficiency type hotel. I am packing my WIPs
and my sewing machine to use during "down time."

TIA and happy stitching,

Well...I personally prefer plain white fabric over the white on white
prints. I don't like quilting thorough the latex-y printing. So, for
plain white fabric I like either the P&B plain white fabric or the Kona
Cotton plain white. I can get both at my local quilt shop. The Kona
brand is a bit heavier and you can see the weave more. The P&B is
lighter and smoother. Depends on what I'm matching them up with as to
what I use - homespuns with the Kona, Hoffmans and the like kinds of
smoother cottons with the P&B. Both seem to wear well and quilt nicely.

I know you can order Kona cottons on line at several of the bigger quilt
shops. Maybe there is a quilt shop near where you are working - we've
got some Virginia people on the list, don't we? Good luck with the job.
Hope you really do get some time to work on those projects!
