I am doing a black and white quilt right now. It doesn't matter if I have black or white thread in the machine. Either is better than grey.

I also sew so I do have to change thread with that. Lucky me the things I am sewing on now are either black or white.

Too funny.

Try a sample or two with black, gray and white...see what you like best. any of them will do. Good luck and be sure to post your work when finished....we can't wait to see.

I would do it with gray as it blends with anything just about.

I just made a black and white Yellow Brick Road and I pieced with white. I tend to use white for all my piecing. I also did the quilting with white and I wish I had chosen differently for that. It looked too stark against the black fabrics. I would probably go with a grey for the quilting or if I could have found a white and black variagated, I might have gone with that.

do you have any monofilament thread? It's clear and will not show at all. I have found it's hard to use sometimes. Otherwise I use off white. It seems to blend better when I piece.

a color thread that will show on both colors then it won't look half quilted even tho it will be.

Grey sounds good. Or black on the black and white on the white....

I, too, would use grey.
