I usually will change thread color, and match each color to each individual piece, or contrast depending on the look I want. As you all know, this does take quite a bit of time, and starts and stops, tying off all the different threads, etc...debating on "breaking out a bit", and trying something new...A quilty friend suggested using grey thread around all. Just wanting some other opinions...thanks!!

I love the truck fabric for the backing and the plaid for the sashing. I also would do a blanket stitch around the trucks in black.
I took a class,,,do blanket stitch around the truck blade (for instance) go as far as you can with that stitch...then switch to a straight stitch so you don't overlap. Then switch back to the blanket stitch until you have completed the all around the truck..
