    I am doing a black and white quilt right now. It doesn't matter if I have black or white thread in the machine. Either is better than grey.

    I also sew so I do have to change thread with that. Lucky me the things I am sewing on now are either black or white.

    Too funny.

    I would do it with gray as it blends with anything just about.

    I just made a black and white Yellow Brick Road and I pieced with white. I tend to use white for all my piecing. I also did the quilting with white and I wish I had chosen differently for that. It looked too stark against the black fabrics. I would probably go with a grey for the quilting or if I could have found a white and black variagated, I might have gone with that.

    do you have any monofilament thread? It's clear and will not show at all. I have found it's hard to use sometimes. Otherwise I use off white. It seems to blend better when I piece.
