I'd like to see more pics of quilts using white fabrics with other colors.What patterns/fabrics look good with white?

I like white on white prints - or white on natural and white on tan - they go with a huge variety of other fabrics! :)

Batiks, novelties, 30's repros, contemporary, calicoes, turkey reds - and they're available in 120" wide fabric, so you can back a lot of different kinds of quilts with them.

One of my quilts that is in perpetual UFO status is made of 3" and 6" Drunkard's Path blocks in w-o-w (w-o-n & w-o-t) prints and 30's repro prints in a wide color palette for a scrappy look.

I backed one antique Grandmother's Flower Garder with white-on-tan, a two-fabric Eastern Star with white-on-white and the quilt that I'm finishing right now has a lot of white sheeting on the top and I'm backing it with w-o-w. The print gives a little subtle interest to the back and camoflages little bloopers in the quilting. :)

Is there any particular style of block that you're looking for? Lots of really beautiful quilts out there with white and just one other fabric. :)

The Cathedral Windows is first to come to my mind.
The first link has the quilt in white and a very good tutorial. She does her pattern a little different than the tutuorial Eddie did for us on the Quiltingboard. Eddie's tutorial is very good also and the photo's are awesome.

To me, white is a neutral that goes with any color. White with brights, mediums and darks, depending on the look you are going for :D:D:D

Here is a picture of a square of a quilt that I am working on now...

That is pretty...thanks for sharing. I like the look of whites with 30's prints, but don't have any of those.

Here's a pic of a twist on Fons and Porters Granny Stars. I used floral scraps rather than retro and the main star block is slightly different than the one they used. I have finished the entire quilt and use it regularly. It has gone through the wash several times with no issues.

The Jewel Box quilt on Quiltinaday.com is very striking with the white and darker colors.
