thread to use for quilt?

[Auntpiggylpn]

The LAQ I use said that as a rule of thumb she matches thread to the 'backing' of the quilt... I think if you used a navy blue to match the back it would look fantastic with the fabric combo you have on the front. (Beautifully done by the way)

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.
