Thread color
What color thread would you use to longarm a quilt that has a navy blue backing and the top is all different colored bricks with white squares in between? I don't want to use invisible thread.
Thanks for any ideas.

I would probably try Invisafil white or Bottom Line silver. Both of these seems to blend with everything. The latest issue of Machine Quilting magazine shows a vintage quilt top in white/red/blue that was rescued and quilted with the Invisafil white; she said the thread worked really well on all the colors. The Bottom Line silver is recommended by Bob at Superior threads as a good blending thread.

I agree with all those who suggested silver/grey. Looks great with almost anything.
You want to be careful with variegated thread if it contains one of the colors in the quilt. It can look like you forgot to quilt that area (ask how I know).
