elkayr Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 This is a lap quilt that will have a border added. I'm using a muslin back. What color thread would you use to quilt this? I'm going to do an all over pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeAnn Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 how about a cream or light gray? I think the lighter thread would look better on the dark fabric than vice versa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cblevins Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 I agree with cream. I'm anxious to see it finished! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting Heidi Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 I'll 3rd the cream or even a little darker than cream. Puddle your thread on the top and see which one you like best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delld Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 I agree. A nice Cream or Beige color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elkayr Posted March 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 Thanks! I was thinking about beige & wasn't sure. I'll check out my cream colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewhappy Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 Dare I go against popular opinion again?...Oh what the heck- I like the lite grey thread option. I think the quilting would stand out abit (not overpower) What color is the back? They grey would show on both the lite & dark fabrics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merryjo2003 Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 I would use Fil-tec 80132, "Penny." It's kinda what I call an antique brass color. It's out-of-the-box, but I like how it blends with so many colors. It isn't "in your face" on lighter colors, either. Second choice would be cream.

lisae Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 I vote for gold, too! I love Glide Military Gold....get the sheen of metallic without the trouble. Can't wait to see the finished quilt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janette Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 mocha by glide would look good on this one maybe. its a bronzy colour. i personally wouldnt like to use cream. id be looking at my tans bronzes golds. its only until you lay the threads out over the quilt top though that you know what might work.
