quilted with white thread
 

Hi..

I didn't want to drive almost one hour to the quilt shop to get different thread, I posted and asked if white or off white would look ok.. most said yes but some said lavender, seeing I didn't have that color just white, I decided to just quilt it in the white.
I am getting pretty good at the swirl designs, so I tried to add a little to the design and did a flower in the swirl and echoed around the flower..I still have a lot to learn in FMQ some of my swirls are a little shaky....It turned out ok I think.. There is a white border and a purple border, I couldn't get that in the picture..Thanks everyone for your help

My granddaughter will love it, she picked the pattern and the fabric

Love it...would have never thought the colors would work, but that's what I love about seeing all the projects on here...Keeps one inspired and ready to think outside the box. Your quilting is really pretty. Thanks for sharing.

Love how it turned out! I think often we can make it work with what we have. Yes, there might be something "ideal" out there (e.g. lavender thread...), but it might not be within reach (too long a drive, quilting on a budget, etc., etc.), so one has to just go through what is there and make best use of it. That's what I usually do, and so far it generally works out fine. As it did in your case!

That's a beautiful quilt!

Looks great!!!

Your quilt and quilting are beautiful. The white looks great.

Looks good!

Wonderful! Love the color combination and the white thread was a perfect choice IMO.

Wow that is so pretty. Wonderful job!

Great job... it appears you have become very good at the swirl design. Nice finish.

Beautiful!

Wow! That quilt is dazzling!

I never know what color to use when I quilt has many colors

Wonderful choice! The white softens the dark purple, makes it blend a bit more. Your FMQ is wonderful!

Very nice and your quilting makes it!

omg, your quilting is awesome!!!!!!!
I was one who said go with white and I love the way it looks!!!
That's a gorgeous quilt!!!

Turned out great!

From what I see on your pictures of your quilting - looks good to me.

Looks really great to me. We have so many choices and each brings a different appearance and we get to choose. I really am trying to use what I already have whenever possible.

I 'voted' for white thread, too, and you certainly did a fantastic job! Your granddaughter will love her quilt, I'm sure. I know I do!!

Awesomely done! What a treasure for your granddaughter. The white thread really looks good and emphasizes the beautiful quilting you did.

Beautiful job! The white really works!!

Lovely!!!! Your white thread worked just find.

Beautiful finish to a lovely quilt. Your quilting was just the icing it needed !

Thank you everyone, for your help on choosing the thread color for this quilt..I think my next quilt I will have to branch out and try a different FMQ design, I have been just doing the swirl design and i know there are so many designs to choose from...I now just need to Practice more...
Thanks everyone for you wonderful remarks.. It really encourages me to try and do better on each quilt..

It looks great! Good job!

I love it and I like how the white shows off your beautiful quilting!

The white thread looks great! It really shows up your pretty quilting.

I love purple and green together and think the white thread works well with these colors. The back especially. Very Nice Job!

Yes, you are definitely getting quite good at the swirl design. I love your quilt and quilting.

Beautiful quilting and I love the white thread. Lovely quilt.

What a beauty! I like the white quilting.

Looks wonderful! Your quilting is awesome!

Quiltlady1941--I am really impressed by your lovely quilt and quilting. I, too, am working on my FMQ and I can empathize with your situation. In the final analysis, working with white thread on a dark purple is a gutsy thing to do when you are still developing your skills. You pulled it off beautifully and created something lovely!!

Beautiful quilt, quilting and colors. I use white and off white a lot.

It's beautiful and I love the white thread, really shows off your quilting. Thank you for sharing.

That just shows that you need to trust yourself and your own judgement. It turned out smashing.

Quilt looks great and your quilting is outstanding!

Love your quilt and the colors your GD choose. What is the pattern?
