I like variegateds for quilting though.
When you use varigated for quilting, do you use it in the bobbin too? I haven't tried varigated yet.
So far I always have. My backings are almost always a print that the variegated tends to blend into.
I did on one quilt where the backing was the same as one of the fabrics in the front. On all the others I went with a solid prewound bobbin.
