Thanks ever so much.
These aren't dumb questions at all!!!
The answer to 1 depends on the colors of the quilt. I like to use contrasting thread, but some quilters prefer a color that will blend in. You can "audition" threads and see which one makes you happiest. You can quilt certain things, but make sure you quilt as much as your batting requires - some battings need more quilting than others.
As for 2, I start from the middle and work out. That way I don't have a bubble in the middle.
