Just noticed your avatar when reading --yesterday i helped a lady with a quilt kit she was given and it looked like this.
Do you know your pattern name? Her paper said
"Canadian Star" and i was very interested what yours is !!

Would you pm me please?

I like the ones with white too. I'm scared to death of white though-I always think the dirt just jumps on it. I have a few yards of Kona white that I may use in a quilt soon. I might get some of that Kona snow too.

I agree - white seems to make all the other colors pop!

I am making a double wedding ring quilt for my son and daughter in law. They just got married 10-29 . I am using white so I can print their wedding pictures on and black as the next block , instead of making the ring with material I am going to trace on the fabric and lay black narrow ribbon where the circles go on the white blocks and white ribbon on the black blocks , as not to take away from the pictures on the white blocks of their wedding. Am excited to soon get started on them . Trish

My quilt is mostly white. I love the look too, but I have a long haired black cat who lives on my bed. My quilt lives in storage. :) / :cry:

I think using white in a quilt makes for a beautiful vintage/old-fashioned quilt. I did a "twist" (my take) of Fons and Porters "Granny Stars" quilt using floral/cottage scraps and a white on white for the background. It is one of my favorite quilts. It has been loved and washed several times with no issues and I will continue to "love" it. IMO, the quilts I make, whether I keep them or gift them, are made to be loved and used.
