It depends if you want the quilting stitch to stand out or blend in.

I would like the thread to blend in. I plan on using white thread on the backside of the quilt.

A nice soft pink and purple variegated thread would work great.

I discovered, quite by accident, that light gray thread blends in beautifully. I agree that a pink/purple variegated would be really nice. I do love this quilt.
