Sulky Blendables is a cotton varigated thread.
They have several colors to choose from. :-)
Here's where you can see the colors:

I have 3 or 4 LARGE spools of Coats & Clarks variegated cotton that I found at JoAnn's - used one on a baby quilt and it went fine (pale pastel gradations in "baby" colors).
I've got King Tut, and probably every other brand of variegated thread you can find - I prefer using them because then I don't have to fret about changing thread color when I'm quilting.
I don't know that I'd use variegated thread on SID quilting. It won't really show up.

Instead of doing SITD, I use a rounded, meandering stitch that is one of the programmed stitches on my machine. I do it over the seam so you get to see the thread and you also don't have to worry about your lines being "straight". It also "strengthens" the seam area because it covers the seam, so no chance of the seam coming apart.
(Sometimes my seams are less than 1/4"...just because I'm trying to make the block square and I might be a thread or two short on one particular piece. I know, I know...I'm probably the only one with this problem!)
