    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.

    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!
