    I googled white quilts and didn't come up with much except one white double wedding ring and you need a medallion. You may have to create this one from scratch. Good luck to you. I like the idea.

    I don't know how to post pics but i have done several neutrals like this. I find that you need a mix of various shades of ivory with white. Take care not to incorporate any tans..as tempted as you may be. if you feel you need tan, opt for a palest yellow instead. there's a tendency to want to "add" a bit of color and that can be risky sometimes. at the same time, 4-5 true whites will lose the effect you want also. its tricky to get right and even if you do wind up w/ one too dark or others to closely related, the result can still be lovely.

    mea12 I did 1 square with what I had in my stash and what you were saying is exactly what was happening........
    I thought it was going together too easy. When I stood back from my display wall, I was seeing white & Tan& something inbetween. Just what DD didn't want. She said to go gray not yellow and I would find just what she wanted...
    I know now why she is the last of my children and grandchildren to get a quilt. But I am doing it with a lovin' heart......

    Neutral colored handmade quilts in search brought up a few other suggestions. If you're on pinterest you could check those out. (I'm not) https://www.google.ca/search?q=neutr...FZMqiAodC3gCpw

    Also do a search for white handmade quilts and others show up on there.
