She picked a light purple with flowers and has white in it for the back. Purple is her favorit color.

Your quilt looks great. To quilt it you might try doing 1/4 inch of each side of all the seams. It is easy to do and gives a great look. You could also do the same using a decorative stitch if you wanted to use one of the bright colors in the quilt. Much easier than SID and easier to control than meander-I think anyway. Enjoy the process, I know your daughter will love it.

I would audition shades of grey. I use it so often

A light grey or natural would show up the best.
Try using a meandering stitch, it's quite easy to do.

Your quilt is just great, I think I would do a large meander over the whole thing in dark gray if you want it to show, and light if you don't. Just like someone else suggested,

I like variegated threads for such colorful quilts.
