Seeing your trials on the quilt, I would go with the green.

I love the third color from the left. Your stitches are lovely.
What ever color you choose will be perfect.

I would use a variegated orange, if there is orange in the floral pattern. Try and find a color that works with the colors in your floral pattern. Good luck and make sure you show us when it's finished. :)

I vote for green too. May I ask what you used to transfer your quilting design? Its so nice and easy to see. Will it stay on through your whole quilting process? Thanks in advance for the answers.

It's a pre-printed wholecloth from The Stencil Company (see prior post). Supposed to come off with water after quilted, and I sure hope so! :)

I'm kinda leaning towards the grey-greenish-darker yellow-ish gold-ish (is there a really a word to describe this color??) thread, I think. I like the gold-tone in it, and is just slightly contrasting to the top. I'm thinking when quilted the pattern will look more like a shadow like Karen's picture (if I'm remembering her name right) and kind of stick to the traditional feel of the wholecloth yet will have enough contrast to show the stitching. I'm also contemplating maybe using the other green for the borders to frame it, but I'm not sure. That way I can use the topper by itself, too, and not just with the runner. Thank you everybody SEW very much for your input. I'll definitely post a pic when it's finished. :)
