I'm making a purple quilt for my daughter (her color definitely not mine). I bought a 1000 yard spool of variegated purple thread and started quilting the border--I know, I know you should really start in the middle but it was spray basted really well, anyway I got most of the way around the border and ran out of thread. Had to remember where I got the thread, ordered 2 more spools to make sure I had enough and guess what? The middle of the quilt had a lot of white in it and this particular variegated thread looked awful! So now I'm going to use invisible thread for the middle but I'm stuck with 2 spools of purple variegated thread that I'll probably never use
