I like to have a bobbin for every colour I sew with too, but I do a lot of sewing besides quilting. For piecing I stick with black, white or tan so far, but for the actual quilting it will vary....might be very colourful depending on the top.
auntpiggylpn, I like your storage system! Haven't seen the bobbin mates but will make a point of looking for them, this is very cool! Thanks.
I got both the Bobbin Mates and Bobbin Wraps from Clotilde.com
