Downy Quilts for Kids Question about thread
#1
I finished my quilt top and now it's time to quilt it. What color thread is everyone using on their quilt? I pieced it using natural, but with these fabrics being so bright and all different, I'm not sure what color to quilt with. Do I try to match the tread that is the backing? I don't have a huge collection of color or a place to buy such bright thread. Even if I SITD I don't want the thread to stand out like a sore thumb on the back. What would you do?
Thanks, Kristina

You don't have to use the same color thread on both the top and bottom, but try to use the same weight. Test on scraps first t be sure it looks ok. Mine had orange polka dots on back and the bright yellow/orange/gree/black colors on the front. I matched the back and used a yellow on the front.
