When I don’t want to use a white-white thread, I have a light peach that blends and would work wonderfully in this quilt. :-). Another color I use that blends well is Lemonaid (yellow-Perma Core). This one is a “staple”!

What an adorable quilt. Teddy is going to love it!!! I've used grey when in doubt & it just blends right in to every color. And don't forget that after the quilt is washed the quilting thread seems to just sink right in & is not noticeable.

Whatever you chose will be loved.

I would like the monofilament thread except that it doesn't feel soft. Wouldn't like it on a baby quilt. Light gray is the best choice, I think. I do like your idea to SID and then outline the animals in each block. It's really a darling quilt!
