    Thread color for Halloween quilt

    OK, any of you who have made a Halloween quilt, what color did you quilt with? It is a simple pattern really, 9 patch of mixed Halloween prints, and every other row has a solid square between 9 patch squares. The solids are orange, lime green, purple and black. This is only my second quilt and will be my first one I quilt myself. Appreciate your help!

    I'd probably go with black.

    I would do black.
    Life is full of surprises, some good and others bad. Enjoy the good times, and prepare for the bad times, as long as you are still standing, nothing will tear you down!
