You will most likely need to get it at LQS, vs JoAnns. Please post a quilt photo. You can always use a monofilament thread on top, and black on back. THere is a "smoke" colored (darker) monofilament. THis thread used to be like fishing line. Now it is soft, blends beautiful and highlights the surface design, rather than the stitches. Good luck.
But won't black batting show through the white fabric on the front? It might make the white look gray.
Yeah ...that's what I'm thinking too. I don't know if I would rescue the back and suffer the front.
Unless ... two battings??
As for color thread ... if you want the quilting to show why not use purple on the white and white on the purple. If you don't want the quilting to show use white on the white and purple on the purple.
