What color thread
I'm just about ready to quilt a border on a brown and aqua quilt. My question is on the brown border should I use brown thread or a lighter brown, aqua or what? I'm going to be doing feathers if that matters. Thanks

Depends upon the look you want. If you want the feathers on the border to stand out, a lighter thread would emphasize them. If you want less focus on the border (but nice quilting texture) go for the darker, matching brown thread.

Thanks everyone, I'm using a multi brown/beige and it's look beautiful. I thought the aqua wouldn't like right so I was scared to try it. I should have tried it on scrap brown I know but when I remembered I had the multicolored thread I thought "how could I go wrong". lol
