I am planning the quilting for a top I have just completed. I have two colours, an off-white and a light grey that have definite contrast but I really want the off-white to pop. Should I use denser quilting on the surrounding light grey or should the quilting be denser on the off-white? Should I use a contrasting colour thread on the off-white? In general, what effect does using a contrasting or darker thread for quilting have on an area? The picture is not the best but hopefully it will give you a visual as to what I am talking about. Any and all suggestions and advice are welcome and I thank you in advance.[ATTACH=CONFIG]611867[/ATTACH]

I am simply amazed at the optical dimensions of your quilt top. So wonderful! Because I have no clue as to what would happen to the visual impact of any of the above ideas-or others- I will be anxious to see it again when you get it quilted. I can see that you do indeed have a challenge!

Joe'smom, I like the idea of stitch-in-the-ditch for the white but my concern is the length of the strips. The white strips are up to 32" in length and my batting is to be quilted "4 inches apart". If i sitd, would I still be meeting that requirement?

Thank you, everyone, for your great advice, suggestions and kind comments. I love this board for the willingness of members to help one another. I will post a picture when I have it completed.
