Feathers are an excellent choice. I would think a cream color thread would be perfect. Something a few shade darker than your fabric. Beautiful quilt. Please post pictures once it's completed. Excellent job.

Before I decide why would you want to use green?

WOW Your Quilt is Gorgeous!! What Pattern is that. I would Use Pink on top what is the back? If color coordinated I would use cream on the back so the Design really pops. Gorgeous

There is a bit of green in one of the fabrics, and I thought it would give it a sort of leafy look. Like a rose?

Absolutely beautiful quilt!!!!!

How about using clear thread on top and cream on back? That way you get the quilting without competition between colors.

The simpler the quilting, the more I would like it. The design is gorgeous and intricate...don't detract from it.

The quilt is beautiful. What I look for in the quilting....how well it fits or compliments the quilt, and how well it is done. I agree feathers would look great! :D :thumbup:

Very nice.... cream quilting thread.....I don't think a dark thread because it may take away from the quilt design.... just a thought.....
