Suggestions for quilting thread color

[annoxyer]

I have completed this log cabin beauty and am getting ready to quilt it. I'm having a spot of trouble determining what color thread I should use because of the highly contrasting colors.

Is there a guide for what color thread your should use to quilt a log cabin quilt? Something that matches the light? Something that matches the dark?

This is absolutely stunning! What a great job you did choosing fabrics!

I have a hard time picking thread color, too. For this one I think I'd chose a medium gray so that it will blend in nicely with both the light and the dark fabrics. But I agree it's a tough decision!

Beautiful quilt! I was going to say grey as well.

I think I'd go with a purple...what color is the back?

The back will be black.

Thank you so much! I hadn't considered a grey color. I think that will blend the best as well!

I agree with the grey thread, I have used it before and it works just fine. But do try it out on scraps, I do that as well before I start quilting always...just to make sure I have no issues with my machine....a scrap I can toss, I am not tossing a quilt!
