I like to use variegated thread in bright colors so all my mistakes show:)
I use gray the most for piecing and cream for quilting. Thanks for the chance to win.
I just love thread! I use a lot of pretty variegated threads.
When I do quilt by hand, I prefer to use a light color that blends. I haven’t had the courage to use contrasting thread!
For piecing I use a cream color; for quilting it varies depending on the colors in the quilt.
I use a light ecru/cream color for most piecing and free motion.
I use cream the most, have never used Aurafil, just recently bought a new machine that doesn’t like my less than steller threads, how does this thread sew up? Need to replace all my thread I fear.
I am just starting into machine quilting. I love the reds and oranges, but will use whatever strikes me at the moment for what the quilt is crying out for. : )
The most I use when quilting is white, because it blends in most of the time.
Thanks for this great giveaway!! :)
I almost always use white, usually because I’m too lazy switching the thread to a different color :) Many thanks for the great giveaway!
White is used most frequently when I am piecing.
All lovely quilts. I voted. I use mostly wheat colored thread for quilting.
I like to quilt with a thread that disappears in the quilt, so, the thread color is different all the time. but, when I piece, I typically use a light beige or darker for darker prints.
I use mostly beighe and silver thread in my quilting.
Lately I have been using Aurafil 2370 with my scrappy quilts it blends well.
I mostly use off white. Thank you for the chance.
I use many white and cream. That’s why I need to win this givaway!
At the moment I use either white or variegated thread, depending on the colour scheme of my quilttop.
I use light colored threads-cream or light tan when I sew.
Thanks, Peggy
For piecing, a med. gray or beige but for quilting a Rainbow variegated gets used a lot.
I mainly use a very light cream thread. Thanks for the sweet giveaway :)
Believe it or not, I use a bright lime green quite often. It works great with lots of quilts. Thanks for the chance!
I use a muslin light cream color alot. It really depends on the quilt and backing what color I use.
I’ve used a lot of bright orange – really adds a fun touch of color to a scrappy quilt!
Whichever one matches my quilt! That’s almost always a variegated thread. I guess I’ve been going through the brown/beige/cream variegated threads pretty rapidly lately, believe it or not!
I tend to use a light cream or beige for quilting! :)
I use gray and taupe for most piecing and use coordinating threads for quilting.
I use LOTS of Aurifils!!
It seems that the most frequently used one, when I want to blend-in is the sage green/gray-ish one (it just blends with so many different colors!) and when I want a contrast, it is a bright, lime green one! :)
I use Aurifil in light or dark greys to piece, and use all colors of Aurifil for free motion quilting. I love it! I would love to win the variegated thread set and use it for quilting.
cream or grey always. maybe when my stitching is more even I’ll try some colors
Cream is my go-to color for piecing & hand-quilting. Thank you for a lovely giveaway!!
I use LOTS of Aurifils!
It seems that the most frequent one is, when I want to blend-in, the sage green/gray-ish color (it just blends with so many colors!) and when I want contrast – bright, lime green! :)
Thanks for a fabulous giveaway!
I use mostly gray when quilting (but not always).
I usually use gray or cream for piecing and cream for quilting, but really want to branch out and try some exciting colors for the quilting.
I use white and cream the most but don’t shy away from other colors when they are needed.
Off-white is my usual colour for piecing, but I go colourful for quilting.
I usually use a light tan, grey or cream color
I’m using mostly cream at the moment but that does change from quilt to quilt.
I use cream thread the most, but love the variegated ones too.
I use greige for peicing, and whatever colour the quilt needs for the quilting (black, purple, variegated red, lavender are from my last four quilts).
I’ve decided to use light tan from now on. The last time I tried to match my quilt, I had a difficult time seeing where I was going and where I had been! That will change if I make a light tan quilt.
The thread color I use most for quilting is a natural or cream color. It goes with most light backgrounds.
I use taupe the most.

I coordinate my thread with the colors of my quilt although I want to try using a variegated thread on my next one.
I use Aurifil Mako in a light grey or cream for most of my quilting.
Lately I seem to be using a lot of red believe it or not!
Casi todos mis trabajos los acolcho con color beig, anteriormente lo hacía siempre a mano, ahora la mayoría lo hago a máquina
I use Aurofils goldish color thread. It blends into every color so nicely.
I seem to be using a lot of blue in my quilting. Off white is a close second.
I use a lot of a warm neutral beige for piecing. Aurifil is my favorite kind of thread for this.
