Be sure to share the finished quilt. Have fun FMQing, its fun and very rewarding.

I just asked a similar question and found out that others have good luck with Infisifil 100 wt. I'm going to try it. You don't see much of the stitching. I have a tablerunner that has cream and dark colors and I didn't like the way the stitches showed up on the dark fabrics. And I'm not very good at FMQ yet so I don't want them to be so obvious.

What about Superior Threads Mono Poly? It's soft (polyester), doesn't melt with the iron and doesn't disrupt the colors.

You might want to try a verigated thread. You may even find one with red and turquiose

I would quilt it diagonal edge to edge starting in center row using blue thread to match the blue blocks. Then change to red to quilt the red blocks. You would only have to change the color twice.

I like to blend my thread with my fabric. Because this is your first FMQ I would do this. You will not notice any wobbles as much if blending the thread. You might try a very pale yellow or peach if you have them. (You will be surprised how well the blend. I’m not so sure about on these solids though). If I could not find a good blender for both fanatics, I would change threads to match the fabric. I use the same thread in the bobbin. Helps with tension and not seeing a different color show up on the front (from the back).

I would use dark taupe. It's a beautiful quilt--nice job and thanks for sharing.

Excellent idea. Quilt all the blue rows first then the red or vice versa.

I would use taupe as it will blend nicely. I fmq curves much better than straight lines so I would go with a stripple in the turquoise and red and then some sort of straight lines in the center of each block. What ever you decide, your quilt is very beautiful and I'm sure the finished quilt will be gorgeous.
