    Thanks for your lovely comments and suggestions. Went to Hobbycraft this morning. Got black thread and also found a variegated black/white/grey. Got a sample sandwich made so will see which looks the best.
    As previously mentioned we do not have a large selection of shops near here, and as I do not drive I rely on my DH to take me to the stores. Bless him he is very supportive of this expensive hobby. Mark you he fishes and plays golf so I guess it is all a matter of balance.

    Thanks, Sue. After I had posted my message, I again looked at the pic of your beautiful quilt. I realized it was a D9P. I have made 4 of them and still didn't immediately recognize the pattern. LOL.
    I think it was the 2-color combination that threw me off.....it looked so different. I am already on a search for black/white fabrics to make one for a special friend.

    Much thanks for taking the time to reply.

    All the best.

    Depends on what kind of pattern you plan on using for the quilting... red would stand out nicely, but if you choose a pattern that flows w/the fabric, it won't take away from the quilt.

    My 2nd choice would be a steal grey.

    King Tut has a wonderful black to light grey variegated thread that looks great on black and white quilts.

    I would consider medium to charcoal gray. If yoou could find a varigated thread of grays that would look nice too. Happy Quilting whatever you decide.

    You did a great job on your quilt. Gray would be my choice too. I know your daughter will cherish her quilt.

    I would do black or gray thread if I didn't want it to stand out. I would FMQ meander.
