either 1/4" inside the larger square or a circle inside the larger square. i would sid around the rectangle that encloses the small triangles.

what size are the large and small triangles and the quilt? and are you hand- or machine- quilting it?

i think medium brown thread. it will show, but not take over.
The small squares are 1 1/2 inches, the large 4 1/2 inches. I'll be machine quilting it.
I thought of brown thread, too. I think it won't be as intrusive as black.
Thanks!!!
