I agree with Feline ...this quilt is all about the GAZILLION pieces! I would pick a neutral thread that will add texture without hitting you over the head. It is so busy, you will really have to look hard to see the quilts...as it should be. You want to show off all your piecing! I have thought about putting this quilt on my Bucket list as I LOVE Sue Garman. I have a couple big/complicated/many pieces quilts already purchased/started(!), so I will just tuck it away in my memory for a later date! Maybe it would be good leaders/enders project. How long do you think THAT would take!? lol
