In our shop we use gray thread for all piecing. It's a neutral that goes with everything and remember, it's not going to be seeen, just holding your pieces together. Now, quiting the top - that's another thing altogether!

I started quilting bed size quilts what fun you will have love the fabric

Just did a baby quilt with the gray and yellows! Loved the colors but went to three shops in order to get what I needed,,,,love, love, love your collection! Isn't it fun to achieve so many "firsts"?

Your color choice is really pretty. Good luck.

Love your fabric...I have found a grey or taupe colored thread will blend with almost any color of fabric that I sew. Good luck on your project!

Love the fabric. You'll be ok.

Good Luck..I love the Fabric!

Really pretty fabrics. I am sure you will do a great job. Your neice is a lucky girl. Don't forget to post pictures.

You will do just fine. Take it slow and easy...rushing is when I goof. The fabric is lovely...can't wait to see the finished product.

No you aren't biting off more than you can chew. Just take your time and come here and ask for any help you may need.
Keep in mind that making a quilt is all straight sewing.

I love your choice of fabrics. I am sure that this quilt will come out perfect.

Beautiful color choice - slow and steady will get it done. Looking forward to the photos of the completed quilt.

Beautiful choices for fabric! Yeah, gonna be excited to see this one too!

I usually use either beige or gray for all piecing..........white occasionally.......

Great fabric choices. I have been collecting red, white and black for a while, but the yellow calls out to me....looking forward to seeing photos of the finished top.

Lots of us use a light grey for piecing, blends with most anything except white

As someone mentioned, it is just several runners put together. Very pretty fabric. What pattern did you choose. Would love to see some of your blocks.

I generally use a light grey or off white for all my piecing unless I am using a black or very dark fabric.

Think of it as if it was a large placemat.

I LOVE your fabric choice! Please share the finished project with us!

Really pretty fabric...keep us up to date!!!

One of my daughters want a starburst quilt made using the yellows, I've got some picked out but haven't started the cutting yet.
these are sure pretty looks you have. good luck ,I'm sure she is going to love it and that you will do just fine.

The fabrics are beautiful and I cannot wait to see the finished quilt . I'm sure it
will be beautiful.

I like it. Looks very interesting. Be sure to post the finished picture. It will be great.

Thread color
 

I'd try a light-to-medium gray. I don't like tans and creams so I use grays instead....and with gray as one of your colors, I think it would be perfect! :)

You wil do fine. Just go for it! Pretty fabric!
