For fabrics I used cotton solids from Fabricland. Off-white (cream) for the plain blocks with Hemingworth #1037 (Cornsilk) thread. For the other solid fabrics I used dark brown, copper brown, rust and dark green. The threads for those were Marathon #1308 (dark brown), #1224 (copper brown), #1157 (rust) and #1347 (dark green). For the small star blocks which don't use fabric I used softer colors of the above and threw the odd different color in like yellow, gold, salmon, light green etc. I didn't really have a plan for those blocks so was winging it with what I thought would look ok.
Good luck with your quilt and post pictures as you go along.
