quilting and monoprints and white

I felt like my quilt was falling between the cracks so I just cut a bunch of white squares to add to the mix, which was decidedly lacking in white. I think I avoid white because white clothes show every stain and mark. But white in a quilt or in a painting are certainly ideas I'd like to explore. White on white. White on brown. Off-white on white. I like chalky looking elements in paintings and monoprints. I'll see if I can scare up one of my monoprints to show you what I mean.
