I think, since the background fabric is cream, I would choose a darker shade (a couple of shades darker, perhaps an ecru) for the quilting and use the same thread top and bottom. This would make the quilting show, but wouldn't take away or overpower the beautiful star center. ;-)

Oh My! My first reaction to your lovely quilt was a quick intake of breath. It is absolutely stunning! I agree with everyone -- feathers.
And is there a varigated thread that ranges from cream through the pinks into the dark reds? I love the varigated threads and the look they give with the light and dark showing throughout the top.
