I would probably do my favorite, FMQ. In a grey thread.

Take the top to your LQS and hold the end of the threads on each color. Maybe a light to medium gray that will blend with the grey but won't boldly jump out on the orange.

i don't know the size of the blocks... if they are large, then 1/4 would be OK, but if they are smaller, 1/4 would be too much

I agree! Use Invisafil by Wonderfil. I'd use a gray. It will pretty much take on the color of the fabric. I use in both top and bobbin.

I would use a fine thread like invisifil http://www.softexpressions.com/softw...ads/WNInvF.php so you don't see the thread, just the texture left behind. The beauty of Invisifil is it seems to mimic the color fabric it is quilted on. so maybe the gray color.
