Default How do you quilt something when you don't want to disturb the pattern of the top?

I am in the planning stages for a new quilt for 5yr old grandson. http://cuttopieces.blogspot.com/2012...ilt-along.html I have just ordered all the materials needed and fabric, but just realized that I have no idea of how to quilt the layers. Since each piece will be a 1" finished square, SITD isn't an option. And using any kind of colored thread will disrupt the pattern of the quilt top. Is a clear nylon thread appropriate for kids? How durable is nylon thread? What kind is best? A clear thread would let me do cross hatching. I know I am way ahead of myself, but daughter is buying all the supplies, so I try to get everything before I start.
