What color is your binding? You could extend that color by using it for quilting thread. Not bold enough to show off you quilting? Then, yeah, you could use silver gray.

Your quilt is going to be gorgeous! I love your color selections. I made a version of this quilt for my son and just did a stipple over it all.[ATTACH=CONFIG]549894[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]549896[/ATTACH]

I agree with the others who suggested a light gray color thread, no matter what design you choose. Good luck with your decision.

Beautiful quilt. I would probably use a variegated -- or maybe a lavender and green variegated. I tend to do things simply and I favor the geometric. have seen some of these quilts where the pieces are outlined and then there are smaller cross hatches contained within the pieces rather than larger cross hatches - the straight lines contrast with the arcs.
