I'm going to be hand-quilting the Cicily Mary Barker (or is it Mary Cicely Barker) garden fairy quilt I posted here:

http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-132259-1.htm

And specifically, in the "windows" I want to outline the fairies. As you can see from the detail image below, they are already outlined in a dark brown/black. I do not want to distract from the drawing, but I do want to help the fairies "jump out" by outlining them.

Suggestions for thread color? And has anyone hand quilted with "invisible" thread?

Thanks.
