I only used white for a very long time. Now I have branched off a bit. I do not feel bad getting just few colors. I don't go hog wild over it.
Oh, and I LOVE Welsh Corgis.

I like variegateds for quilting though.

When you use varigated for quilting, do you use it in the bobbin too? I haven't tried varigated yet.

I have three colors of thread for piecing. white/cream for piecing whites or light colored fabrics, a medium tan color for medium colored fabrics. And a med grey for piecing dark fabrics. Its not necessary to match the thread to the fabric color when piecing.

For piecing I like the neutral colors too.
