    I use an antique white or a really light beige. But, you should do what you are comfortable with. I would probably quilt it with white.

    When I'm sewing a dark to a light color I will use a grey thread.

    If grey was handy I'd use that. Otherwise when piecing, it really makes no difference to me.

    I use a neutral gray. When the fabric is both black and white like my avatar I use whatever's in my machine.

    When piecing I use grey at all times. I figure you don't see the seams anyway LOL
