I have an electric bobbin winder and wind my own bobbins. I have bobbin cases for each color of thread I use. Each of my bobbin cases holds 36 bobbins, and I usually use 36 or slightly less, sometimes a few more per quilt depending on the pattern.
At the end of making each quilt, I rewind the bobbins to fill the bobbin case back up, then I'm ready to go for the next time I use that color.
I keep 14 thread colors on hand and haven't had any need for more colors. There is always a color that will go with my quilt out of those 14 colors. I also use the same color thread for both the top and bottom threads.
