Personally, I think it also might be fun to do a couple of trees in a green thread (same tone as the evergreen). Or you could do the whole thing quilted in a red or black. So many beautiful choices that will really highlight your beautiful piecing. I can't wait to see the results!
I especially like your idea of using green thread for a couple of other trees and for me personally I would do the first tree in the first row, second tree in the second row, etc. It's a beautiful quilt and I don't think she is going to go wrong with any of er color choices. Have fun!
