I went to my quilting club last month and one of the gals gave a demo of an easy way to make a Lone Star. I had never made one, but it did look easy! So....I went home and picked some colors from my stash, cut my strips and followed all the directions on the handout. Low and behold, out comes this Lone Star! Very bright, too! I need to quilt it, but I can't decide how or what color thread I should use! I need some suggestions. Here's the culprit:

Thought about black, but I'm also wondering whether I should just do SID or try to do a design. Black would really show up, so I wouldn't want to do SID with black. I got lazy and just appliqued the star to the background and used a light green for that. I'm considering using it for the SID.

green would work for SID. Then just do straight lines in black on the black, if you're not comfortable with stippling or the like, which I am not. I do straight lines, or something easy.
