Verna, This would depend on how much quilting you plan on doing to the quilt. You see if you plan on doing lots of detailed quilting, it would run into much more thread than just stitching in the ditch. I usually buy two or three large spools of each neutral color and have them on hand. That way I have extra if I need it. White, black, grey beige and light blue seem to be the ones I use the most.
