Default Advice on color thread for quilting this top
Tried red thread and it screamed back at me. Picked it out. Thinking about using black or white thread, what do you think?[ATTACH=CONFIG]581095[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]581096[/ATTACH] Thanks in advance for your help.

How about a variegated grey? Just a thought.

​You could use smoke invisible thread. Nice job keeping all the borders straight.

A variegated grey does sound nice. If it were mine I would probably go with a variegated red.
