    I would probably do my favorite, FMQ. In a grey thread.

    Take the top to your LQS and hold the end of the threads on each color. Maybe a light to medium gray that will blend with the grey but won't boldly jump out on the orange.

    i don't know the size of the blocks... if they are large, then 1/4 would be OK, but if they are smaller, 1/4 would be too much

    I agree! Use Invisafil by Wonderfil. I'd use a gray. It will pretty much take on the color of the fabric. I use in both top and bobbin.

The beauty of Invisifil is it seems to mimic the color fabric it is quilted on. so maybe the gray color.
