color thread???
what color thread would you use to quilt this baby quilt, the sky is a light blue but does not show as that in the picture.. so it is red black and sky blue... would you change the tread for each color?
I hope I posted this picture right , I have had this Mac for just a little while and am still trying to figure it out, so different then my XP computer.. Thanks

if I change color thread would you use white thread on the back or better yet the backing has light yellow with farm animals on it so maybe a light yellow and it is polar fleece so the thread would not show that much ..right?

I agree. You could find a matching thread to fill in the background with what you feel comfortable with. I would quilt the tires using black (maybe doing something to show the tread) and a red to match the tractor. You want the quilting to enhance the quilt not to distract. REAL CUTE !!

Depends on how you plan to quilt it. If you're adding quilting lines to the tractor which will be separate from the wheels, which will be separate from the sky, etc., I'd go with matching the thread color to the area being quilted. If you didn't want to mess with that, you could use the light sky blue overall.
It's cute; some little boy is going to be really happy!

I'm not real good at the quilting thing and have to quilt it on my sewing machine as I don't have a long arm machine.. I was thinking of just doing FMQ but I think that I will change the thread on each fabric, maybe I can do some different stitches on each part of the quilt.. thanks ladies for your help.. wow the puff of smoke would look so cute I think I will try that too..
