    Oh wow. What a beautiful quilt. I love the fabrics. I think my choice would be red, but I also think that if you used invisible or white and did a really nice quilt motif in the large white squares so the quilting itself was featured that that would be pretty too. Very nice...I'm sure it will be lovely no matter what you choose.

    I love your quilt, it is very pretty. I would find a varigated black/white thread to use. It would blend with your prints and reds while also working with the black and whites. Again, love your quilt. thanks for sharing.

    What a very pretty quilt. I think I would use white to quilt it with.
