Devon,

I've used Superior Masterpiece 50/2 cotton for BL, and it works up very
nicely (comes in a spool).  My local quilt shop here in town has a nice
selection of colours (not massive, but good enough for my purposes).  It's
not overly fluffy like some brands  - Star brand 100% cotton is notorious
for being horribly linty.

You do want to check the spools closely to be sure you're getting the 100%
cotton that's 50/2 - they have a range of threads that are 40wt,
polycottons, etc.  I got caught with one that I thought was 100% cotton, but
turned out to be polycotton.  It's OK, as I was after the colour, and for
what I did, the different texture was OK, but do check the labels.

Hope you can find what you're looking for :-)

Cheers,
Helen, Duvall, WA, where spring has come early this year.
