What about a variegated thread?

I agree with this; it would blend nicely

That is a gorgeous quilt. Did you design it? I agree the gray would not take away from the design already in place. Fmq around the peacocks will add a nice texture.

Kish, that is so beautiful. I had stumbled across this fabric once and had a completely different idea, but now I have another. I have long been fascinated by peacocks and that is one magnificent combination of colors. Just beautiful.

I agree totally. My longarmer did the middle of my cranes quilt (similar color to yours I think, you can see it in my photo album if you'd like) in a charcoal, and it turned out beautifully! She had a pattern of flowers that matched the ones on the fabric and made them about 4" each. I would have never thought to use that color and wasn't sure what to do with the main panel, I am so glad I had her do that part!

If you don't want the quilting to overshadow the beautiful colors and prints - try a medium dark grey and use a finer thread (60wt).

That is a dynamite quilt. Hope she appreciates it.

This quilt is breathtaking. It looks like Jinny Beyer's moonglow only instead of the alternating star blocks you used this gorgeous peacock fabric collection. Stunning. I agree, let the fabric and piecing be the star of this quilt and keep the quilting in the background with a blender thread like charcoal gray.
