Do you have more than one color of thread that you use to quilt and piece with?

Is the bottom thread the same as the top? Or do you just use one neutral color?

I have the rainbow.

I am a longarmer and I don't use many different colors.

I use 4 different colors of grey, camel, light tan and natural the most often on quilts especially scrap quilts. I was so happy last week to get to use yellow. I do match the top and bobbin thread.

If there is not a thread that matches my patchwork or one that will do for all patches, I am back to those colors I quilt with

I mostly use muted, neutral colors. I use off white with light fabric.

i usually use a neutral thread in top and bottom. however, my next project is supposed to have purple squares and they look too pink. so i am using a dark purple in that 9-patch to make the pink look more purple. i'll still use a neutral on the back

I have lots of colors that I quilt with -- it depends on the colors in the quilt. I try to match the bobbin and the top. If I use metalic I choose a color that is close and if I use varigated I may pull one of the colors in the varigated or I use the same thread.

whatever color is in my machine at the time.. I have a rainbow of colors.. Probably over a hundred color choices.. I use what I like, what I want, but more often i use natural, sandstone, beige, off white, light tan for piecing..

I have a set of Rayon "colors" for top stitching, but mostly do a neutral for piecing and quilting.

Good way to put it!!! Me too!

If the quilt has say a purple border and orange and white design would you quilt all one color?

I use neutral for light colors and gray for dark colors when piecing. For quilting it depends on the colors in the quilt.

I use off white or gray for piecing. I use ecru for quilting most of the time.

I love all the different color choices and use them all. When just piecing I use whatever I have more of or a neutral. When quilting anything goes! Top thread and bobbin matching.

for quilting i use many many colors- depends on the quilt- for piecing i'm not so...adventurous
i tend to use either white, black, gray or natural for piecing- sometimes though i will match the thread with the fabrics.

there are so many wonderful colorful threads on the market- it seems a shame to not use them- i love color!

I usually piece with a light/medium gray or tan, but I quilt with whatever looks good with the colors or tones in the quilt top. Sometimes I quilt with different colors in the top and in the bobbin, but it just depends on the look I'm after. When I'm auditioning threads for quilting, I am sometimes surprised at which thread color actually works the best.

I piece almost exclusively with a light grey. I don't have a TON of colors to quilt with, but I'm getting more adventurous. The quilt on the frame is a couple values of purple with a off white border. Only purples I had blended in to one or more of the fabrics. The owner and i agreed on a soft green. It shows up on all the fabrics but does not jumpe out and say I'm HERE!
