    Beautiful quilt. How about quilting in white to showcase your quilting? What color backing will you be using? Maybe the same color of thread as it?

    I agree with the suggestions to use variegated thread. Simple wavy quilting would work as the quilt is very busy.

    I'm in no way qualified to give advice on color selection, but I did want to say it is a wonderful quilt. Please share it again when you have it quilted.

    Since I'm fairly new at making quilts, I can't really suggest much but I like the idea of using variegated thread with this beautiful work of art!
