I want to do the Falling Charms quilt that was recently posted By Jenny Doan on you-tube
and need to get a white jelly roll. Whose is the best? Moda has Bella and R Kaufman has
Kona. Is one better or is there another that would be even better? I plan to get the Storytime
layer cake so the colors are pretty bright that would be paired with the white. I'm worried about
the seams showing thru the fabric (if I don't get everything pressed to the dark, etc).

I use the Kaufman Kona and really like it. Have not had any problems and it is fairly heavy and know problems with colors showing through.

It's white. It's just the nature of the beast. Even white to white seams will show up. I use Kona also.

Moda Bella Snow for me, but yes, the seams will show through.

Thanks for the suggestions. Julie R what is the difference between Bella's white and the snow? Saw those two but couldn't tell the difference in the picture.

You know, I don't remember anymore! I selected Snow over White once and just never reconsidered. I'm sorry I'm not more help.

Thanks for your reply...was curious.

I think snow is a whiter white.

In Kona, "snow" is actually a softer white than "white". I had purchased "white" before and found it really glaring next to my bright fabrics. Now I always purchase "snow" -- just gives the softer look that I want in quilts.

It's like the difference in light bulbs that was sold as "soft white". Once I found the soft white bulbs, I never bought the regular white bulbs again. (Of course, can't buy any of them anymore! How times change....)
