As a thought, what about yellow or gold thread. Would add a glittery affect to the whole quilt. The results will be beautiful what ever you decide, and don't forget to show us when you have it completed.

How about the lighter color in the dark - is it blue? And use a thinner thread, like a regular piecing thread, rather than a heavier machine quilting thread, to quilt and the stitching won't be as dominant.

if in doubt, i always use ecru and like the way it blends with everything. by the way, does anyone have a suggestion for donating old and very beautiful greeting cards? do they take them at nursing homes , schools, or hospitals? i can't bear to throw them all away and need to get rid of them.

Well...I did venture out to my local Hancocks and they did not have the lime green and purple thread! The manager there said some new stuff was coming in on the delivery truck thursday and she will call me if they get some in. OK..I can wait 2 days!
Oh yeah...one of my friends working there gave me 8 pair of jeans for my grandangel! The trip was worth it...yay for recycling!
