What color thread to quilt this???
I have the top all pinned and ready to quilt but can not decided what color to use.. I only have white and ivory quilting thread..I didn't know if I should go and buy another color
This picture is before I put the borders on, the first border is white and the second one is the light purple..
Do you think ivory or white would look ok? I will be doing a, all over quilt design, maybe a swirl or stippling
Thanks for your help

When I can't decide on a color, I pull some of the thread loose, lay it across the quilt and see if I like it. Almost any thread that you would sew with can be quilting threads if you are doing it on the machine. I don't know that I would use a cream on a white fabric. It might tend to look dirty.

Lovely top! If you are a really confident quilter, then white would be fine and really show up in the dark sections. If you are not quite as confident with your quilting, I might go with a neutral like grey or lavender?
