I second what newbee said. I rarely match the color of the thread to the fabrics. If you have a blue quilt and use blue thread, you won't see any of the quilting. If you have a blue and white quilt and use either of those colors, you will see it on the opposite color...but not on the matching color. I try to find a thread that you can see, but does not pop out at you. Right now my go to colors are a med to light tan and spearmint. That green really surprised me! It seems to go with everything. I have even used up a big cone of it! I like the look of contrasting thread, but I have to be having a great quilting day...I can see EVERY bobble!
