Another option you can consider is a very fine thread like invisifil from Wonderfil threads. It is a 90 wt polyester that sinks down into the fabric and reflects whatever color fabric it is sitting on. On the below quilt I used Invisifil in the sky which was many different shades of fabric. You don't see the thread at all, just the texture left behind by the quilting. I think I used a light sky blue color but can't remember for sure.
