Using white in a quilt?
#1
I am finally getting the time to make my nephews quilt. I have ran into a few problems. I am doing a simple 4 patch quilt but it is to busy So I have decided to add some White squares along with some blue ones.
I have not used white in a quilt and I am not sure if there is anything I need to do first. I sure don't want my colors to bleed:-)

You are so smart to find all this information up front.

i would use a white w/ a few specks of blue in it instead of a solid white a blue w/ a lighter blue would make a stunning quilt
white is a bit stark and not easy to keep clean
as mentioned and off white would also be okay
just my opinion :-D
