I mostly use neutral colors and sometimes brown and verigated. thank you for the great inspirations and fun :)
I like using varigated threads or bright contrasting threads.
I use a neutral thread color.
I use mostly a beige….it seem to blend best and don’t have to change thread often….and I use Aurifil for all my sewing!!
I use a lot of medium to dark gray. It blends with almost everything.
I started out with gray, then white and sometimes beige.
This was a tough one! I love scrappy quilts! I use mostly neutral Aurifil threads in tans & greys, but I love all of the beautiful colors also.
I use mainly ecru and white
I mostly use neutrals for piecing, but love variegated for quilting.
Aurifil 2000 – the perfect beige!
For piecing I use a lot of gray. For quilting I like variegated colors or light beige.
I mostly use either white or cream to quilt with. These threads are beautiful!
I use a lot of an off white / neutral color thread . then I try to match the binding color when sewing that on ! thanks ! ( oops sent the 1st comment with fb ; )
Because I love traditional quilting with white backgrounds, I use mostly white. But like all quilters I’ve a rainbow selection! Thanks for the chance to win and good luck to all that entered the contest this week!
For piecing my quilts I use a neutral color unless the fabric is white or black. Then I use the appropriate color. When I long-arm quilt my quilts, I will use a neutral, matching or variegated thread all depending on the colors and pattern. I sometimes will use multiple colors when I am custom quilting a quilt.
For piecing I use neutrals. I also like variegated threads for quilting.
I typically use neutrals – cream, beige and grey for piecing, but love the variegated for quilting. Thanks for the opportunity on the draw.
I piece with white or cream. I quilt with white and because I make a lot of fall items I use oranges and greens too. I also LOVE variegated thread.
I am a very boring quilter LOL I only have used beige or white. Would love to broaden my experience.
I use mostly a natural thread colour – it depends on what I’m making. Try to match the thread with the quilt I make so it depends on that most of the time :-)
Have a great week end.
It’s a toss-up between beige and grey for piecing and love the variegated for stippling.
I love all thread colors and would use any color suitable for the quilt!
I love Aurifil thread and use it for general sewing and applique. Though I have many colors (I try to always buy a new color when I visit the quilt shop), I use white and beige the most. Thanks for the chance to win!
For Longarm quilting – Pure White, Cream and then Light Olive. For piecing a neutral like off white.
I use a rainbow of colors, but probably the most yards used are tan. Love those Aurifil threads.
Hi! Mostly I use cream and white; but love introducing color whenever I can! Thanks for sharing!
I find I use lilac and white the most when quilting
Wow! This was difficult. What wonderful quilts!
Neutrals. My favorite is a tan/greenish thread that seems to blend with virtually everything except perhaps white or black fabrics.
I’d say that 95%of the timeit’s cream and white with the rest various colors.
I use a light grey the most – and I always have extra Aurifil on hand!
I use tan & white when needed.
Thanks for the chance to win : )
I use yellow thread the most.
I usually use cream tones, but I find when I work on my art quilts variegated threads come into play.
I use whatever color matches the fabric to machine piece my quilts. I’ve only used white thread to hand quilt with.
I love their thread! I’ve only used the solids but would love to try the variegated!
These quilts are all fabulous but my favorite is the Majestic Garden QOV quilt. I have such a passion for the soldiers who sacrifice so much.
I use the beige…or white…threads most all the time. Pretty new to quilting…so tend to go “safe”….lol DO loooove all the colors tho, ‘specially varigated! Just haven’t been brave enough…Yet! lol….to try them. :)
Oooh, I love Aurifil! Thanks for the giveaway!
Mostly I just use a beige or a light gray thread in all my piecing.
I think I end up using black more than any other single color, but I use a whole variety.
I use cream-beige mostly for piecing and it can be found in lots of quilted projects as well.
I use off white the most. Darker fabrics I lean toward gray. AuriFil threads are my favorite brand to sew with. Thanks sew much for this chance to win!
I use cream/off-white most often. Thanks!
Invisible thread is what I often use. If I can not find a good match because of so many colors in the quilt I have been known to use the monofilament thread for top, bottom or both quilting threads. I do like to try to match the thread to the quilt as much as possible though.
Black for piecing and whatever is closest to the quilt color for the quilting. I need to venture out and try something else.
Variegated thread is my new all time favorite!
I uses mainly neutrals, since I mainly piece, not machine quilt. I also love variegated threads. They are sew much fun!
I use light gray (Superior Silver) and dark gray for almost everything Quilted!
I quite often use white, but I really like the look of variegated threads and think that they can really add to the quilt.
I’ve been using mostly greys for quilting lately. :)
