Default new to FMQ

I am self thought quilter and learning FMQ on my Juki. My recent quilt poses some challange because I wanted to quilt as it was in the magazine, that includes feathers. I have never done it before and was not eager to do that pattern. After quilting background triangles in wiggly pattern the center blocks needed quilting and I decided to give the feathers a try. Did several trials on test blocks and then started quilting.

It was going quite well, the feathers were coming out fine, fine for me, but when I finally stopped and took a look at the quilt I was so upset for using the same variegated thread that I used on the cream blocks. I am more then half way done and not sure if I should continue with that thread on this blocks or use coordinated thread. I would mean lots of work.
Having so many wonderful quilters on this forum I was wondering if I could get some opinion/advice from you ladies?
thank you
