That is an interesting concept. I'm not sure I would agree with that. For the most part, I use a thread lighter than the fabrics I used in the quilt top. If I had a red & white quilt top with a red backing I wouldn't choose to use a red thread for the quilting. JMHO.

Thanks everyone, I am still dithering. I have tried the monofilament on top and navy in the bobbin. But the monofilament keeps breaking. I think I will give up on that idea. I tried medium gray on top & navy in the bottom, didn't care for that. I will try the light tan on top &navy in bobbin. Matching all the seams was a pain, I think I did pretty well. Used the pin tip I saw somewhere. Thanks again. Will try to post the result.
