    I use the bright colors for quilting and piece using beige (or cream), white (only with whites) or gray (with darker colors).

    Right now I am using a light green on top and cream in the bobbin. I don't worry about the color because I use a fairly small stitch to piece.

    I have been using Aurifil 50 wt 2600, a very light grey.

    I use off white for lighter colours, and a steel grey for dark fabrics
