This fabric ( I saw it somewhere before I bought it) s a reallynice white on white. The straight pins onto really look like pins unless you k ow the name of the fabric. It will work perfectly with some blue batiks for the pinwheel wreath, which is my next quilt project. Unfortunately, the shipping was slower than.expected and it arrived at my house about 4 hours after I left for an extended trip. Ill have to reorder this fabric if I want to work on my quilt this summer.
