I mostly use cream for piecing. I have been quilting with some varigated threads lately. Would love to win some of
the Aurifil thread! Thanks for the chance to win!
I usually use white and light gray and sometimes an antique ecru type color.
I quilt with whatever matches most–that varies by quilt.
White or ecru so far, but I’d like to get colorful!
I mostly piece with light grays and creams. Would love ♥ to win these. Please pick me!!!
I use Aurafil cream, tan or grey for piecing. Love it. Lately, I’ve been using a lot of variegated greens for quilting because they go so well with the purple I use in most of my quilts. My other go-to colors for quilting are purples, blues and yellows.
I use light gray, light blue, white, light yellow and beige a lot.
I’d love to receive the prize! Thanks!
To piece: I usually use white, cream, grey or black.
To quilt: I use anything and everything. Sometimes it matches, sometimes it’s completely different to stand out.
I use grey/cream for piecing, When I quilt it depends on the quilt top I love to use variegated threads. Our local shop sells Aurafil so I use it a lot.
I make and quilt charity quilts a lot. We use Walmart’s brand twin flat sheets, take the seams out, and cut the sheet in half. The half will serve as a backing for a quilt. We go through blue backings as the most popular color. So it’s shades of blue we use the most. It would be a wonderful blessing to receive one of your packages of great Aurifil threads.
I piece with gray and cream and quilt with whatever works best for the particular quilt. Really like Aurofill – thank you for the give-away!
I try to match when I do the quilting.
My colour for quilting is beig,of course .
I most often piece with gray and I probably most often use light colors for quilting.
i typically use a cream colored thread in my quilting. I find that white shows too much and the cream tends to blend in with more fabrics.
Depends on the piece being quilted. I use colors that blend, colors that contrast, or colors that complement the piece I am quilting.
I use gray or beige.
I love to use neutrals…warm and cool shades that go with everything. Makes life easier for me.
I probably use orange more often than other colours, though a dark beige sees frequent use as well.
Beautiful quilts… I enjoyed seeing them and hope the quilters know how much their work is appreciated and admired.
I prefer an off white or cream and use Aurifil a lot.
i prefer a ecru/beige to piece with, color combo to quilt it.
I tend to play it safe with the neutrals.
I use a netural gray most often for the piecing. For quilting, it varies depending on the quilt.
I use beige and gray for piecing and white a lot for quilting.
I would say I use off white thread the most in my quilting with light grey a close second. I love voting each week – so fun to see everyone’s creations – thanks so much for organizing it.
I love all the colors of threads,just like a rainbow of creativity!
My favorite quilt thread color is a soft green, you can use it for almost everything!
I usually use white or cream, but I would love to expand my creatively and am dying to try aurifil threads!
For machine piecing I use a cream color for light colors, gray for dark colors. For machine quilting I like to use a neutral or a varigated thread. For hand quilting I use either a neutral or black. Love Aurifil threads. Hugs
I use grey most in my quilting :)
ourbusylittlebunch(at)hotmail(dot)com
I use off-white, and then light, medium, and dark grey thread most often when I’m piecing.
I use thread colour to match my project so it might be any colour.
I am learning to quilting. Unfortunately, even I can’t correctly define the color of the thread that I use in quilts. Precisely, today I’m unsewing all the quilting I did on an edge, since by the poor choice of color, quilting design is not appreciated.
I use a tan earth tone color thread for a lot of my quilting.
I use a cream or gray thread spool the most.
White and beige are the colors I have used most. But I love the pop that colorful quilting threads provide.
I use aa off white or a cream color. If piecing a scrappy I just use whatever is on the bobbin.
I use gray thread the most. I do mostly scrappy stuff and gray seems to blend in the best to me.
Well, if you are talking about actual quilting, not piecing, then I’d have to go with blue.
I use a lot of black and grey & beige for piecing. But, for the quilting lots of colors! And of course, it’s always Aurifil!
Sadly I pretty much use white as I find it hard to spend money when I don’t know what colours I would need the most
i use mostly light grey or beige…unless its dark then black of course
I use a lot of beige, grey and soft green… They all play nice with other colours…
I love to use variegated threads. Usually I will coordinate th overall color of he variegated thread to the quilt colors, but I love having the subtle color change in the quilted design.
I usually use white or an off white when I sew quilts. If the quilt I am working on has dark colors I use grey.a
I use the color to match the quilt, when piecing and quilting, I love the different threads!
probably say white.

I would use a cream/beige more than any other colour, mainly because I love reproduction quilts and this colour blends in very well.
I usually use the ecru but lately I’ve been using a brown that looks very nice on darker colors. Also use white, black, gray and some of the varigated colors. I love Aurifil thread for piecing and for machine quilting! Would love to win the thread and try out some of the other colors! Thank you for the chance!
