I used a light gray aurifil thread for top and bobbin. The white material has kind of a shiny pattern on it, hard to see in the pics. I found the gray thread really complimented that and it made the quilting pop. I did not quilt in the brown triangles. I was going to switch to a verigated brown thread and do something with them, but did not like how the brown thread looked on the backing.

This will be gifted to one of my godsons.

Looks great...
