Please no white or off white or beige or cream or neutral color thread. I think that looks so blah on a quilt. There are so many colors to chose for any quilt. I like a light lavender or any pastel color for quilts that are mostly white background. when I want the quilting thread to stand out I use heavier weight thread in any color that pops.

Beautiful quilt first of all. I think I would agree with some of the members here that maybe a light lavender would look nice. I think white would really be too bold but this is your quilt and whatever color you like is what you should quilt with. Is there anything such as verigated? I just always go with my LA quilter suggestions so I don't have to make that decision. Good luck

The LAer who quilted my first quilt suggested yellow thread and I just took her word for it. I've always wished she had done it in white, which was the background color.
