Using Gray Thread?

[Scissor Queen]

I piece with a funny green color that blends in to nearly everything even better than any shade of gray I've tried. It's kind of a pale, sagey green. I'll use black or white if the quilt is predominantly those colors.

I have used a grayish green - or greenish gray - the color of the water at the end of an Easter egg dying session - that works amazingly well. If I can't find that, then I go to one of those sagey/lineny greens - I also think that color works getter than gray or tan.

I always use shades of grey or beige and not necessarily the same top and bottom.

Never thought of this - I'll try it.

Some great ideas- will definitely try them

I use cones now and have grey cones and white cones. Right now I'm using white and it seems to work just fine. I use it in the bobbin as well. Usually I use medium grey.

I have a taupe that works very well.

I use grey thread on all quilting unless the main color in the quilt is ecru or cream or beige. Grey is much more blending than beige and does not show nearly as much. IMHO

I'm with Deb, the taupe that I use blends with all colors. However, at the moment I'm trying to use up all the colors of the rainbow from my clothing construction days and since I am piecing scrapy quilts all the different colors work well without trying to match a thread color to a fabric.

For piencing I use grey or taupe. Neutral colors blend in well and that way I don't have so many different colors to store.
