    If you go with the rayon invisible thread, you may want to check to see if the smokey color looks better than the clear. I have quilted with it before but I think the invisible reflects more light and that the smokey looks better on some fabrics.

    It would be great if you could post a picture of your blocks. I would like to see it before making a recommendation.

    Ditto for my recommendation - cream for light, gray for dark.

    Hi Caroline,All the above is great advise.So,which ever your most comfortable using,that's what I would go with.I've used it,and it worked great.I use clear for light fabrics,and the smoke for darker fabrics.It blends right in with any color that way.
