What ever color thread you decide to use it should be fun to quilt. The quilting makes a simple quilt like yours come alive!
Are you going to draft your own patterns?
Am using both, stencils I've picked up since starting last summer and cross hatch (nothing much really to draft on that). I've double small cables for the green, cross-hatched on the red and then vines for the violet. The border gets a large double cable but I'm going to double each line on those. Also am outlining each bar. I've read that the Amish try to quilt every square inch, so that's the goal. My stitching is already improving which was why I wanted to do this quilt to begin with. Cool!
