The color thread I use most is light gray but a close second is bright yellow because I use a lot of yellow in my quilts.
Love to quilt with variegated thread if I can; trying to find colors within the spool to coordinate with the quilt colors.
I use aurifil white or cream most often.
I use the thread that will match or disappear on my quilt. Variegated thread is fun to use when I can.
Most I use white thread and it must be cotton!
Gun, Sweden
Oh, so many wonderful quilts!!!
For piecing I use grey or beige. I use a color to match the quilt.
I use white and cream color threads the most.But love the beautiful colors in aurifil coll.ections
I love piecing with aurifil cream or grey colors and for quilting I try to match one of the colors in the quilt or I use variegated.
I use Aurifil’s greys a lot
I use variegated as often as possible sometimes it is that little extra punch the quilt needs!!
I am a beginning quilter, with only a few projects completed so far. So far I have been using mostly cream colored thread.
I use Reds, blacks and gray a lot. Love variegated threads too! I use Gutterman threads!
I use white thread the most in my quilting.
I probably use a tan thread most often.
I use threads in all colors – just depends on what project I’m working on. This last quilt I quilted with red for some and black for another portion… While piecing i really don’t pay attention to the thread color unless I’m piecing with light colored fabrics – then I use light colored thread…definitely learned my lesson on that one!
I use tan or gray to piece. It kind of blends with most of what I do.
Lately, I’ve been using lots of aurifil white. Usually I use lots of shades of greens and blues.
I use white and a light blue/gray aurafil.
Mainly White or gray for piecing.
I use grey for piecing and all kinds of colors for quilting
I use mostly creams for quilting for piecing I use greys
Varigated mostly. Or a light gray. I haven’t branched out in to bold colors yet.
I use off white or creams for quilting
I use gray for the piecing but I love verigated for the top :)
I use white, black and greys mostly.
I love to use red threads- it’ such a great color!
But white for quilting
I use white or blue the most for quilting, I think. Oh, I should have looked at the theme this week. I have made a scrappy triangle quilt, but I had entered it in a previous contest anyway.
I’m rather boring–I still prefer white when I am quilting most of the time.
I use white the most or grey
Off white cream the most but love to use variegated on some projects
I use light beige.
I use a cream colored thread most often, but have recently discovered that I like the looks of variegated thread when quilting much better.
Variegated that blends with main colors in the quilt, or white.
I use white the majority of the time when I quilt. It just looks so clean.
I love aurifil thread. I piece my quilts with a light gray or beige if light and black if dark. I quilt with a varigated or matching color most of the time. Thanks for a great giveaway.
I use neutrals and blacks lately but am using some hot pink and bright yellow.
I will quilt with whatever is needed to make the design of the quilt POP. I prefer to use a variegated thread in my scrap quilts to help make the over-all look more “scrappy”.
For piecing I mostly use grey or beige. For quilting I use something that goes with the fabric. Variegated threads are a lot of fun to use but solids have their place too!
i use white most often – or match the color of the fabric .. which lately has been mostly blues.
I use any cotton thread that is available locally in my small town in India. I use white or cream colour for piecing and for quilting I use whichever colour that goes well with the quilt top.
I use beige or gray for piecing, usually beige. I match my quilting thread to the back and top, depending on the colors in the quilt.
grey or off-white!
I use all colours of THE rainbow, but I seem to use à lot of dark blue, because I have to buy new spools all THE time
I use a lot of taupe, quite a light colour and goes with most fabrics!
félicitations à toues ces petites abeilles !!!!!
le choix est difficile tellement tous ces ouvrages sont jolis
bravo
amitiés
I use mostly beige.
Lots of gray lately. Also white.
I love to use variegated threads to add depth to the quilting!
As a quilter I need a lot of threads. It’s always on my wishlist for Christmas.
I use Aurifil light gray and off white a lot.
