It looks Gees Bend to me too Judy. <br />LOL - I was just going to suggest using two different King Tut variegated threads to quilt it and lo and behold i look up and there is Sandra's comment saying the same thing. I just did some matchstick quilting and mixed lines of solid threads and King Tut variegated threads and the the result looks very cool. <br />Just looked at the quilt you used black thread for and I love that too.

Angela Walters uses a pale yellow, can't recall the colour, and she said it goes with everything. I looked at your link though, and man, that black thread looked fantastic too. I see nothing wrong with using multiple colours/types though, so more is maybe better on this one too? I think the eye will be immediately drawn to the striped areas, so maybe if you're going to quilt the snot out of it, use a grey on the grey and then the quilting details will be like a second "wow!" for the viewer. So much movement and possibility here!Sandra Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17737049269550479188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4323743198214996449.post-31759066215375138392015-04-05T13:20:46.204-07:002015-04-05T13:20:46.204-07:00This ended up quite well.

Have you got a variegated quilting thread - something with red/blue/purple/yellow would pick up all of the colours in the pieced section without being too overwhelming and pushing one colour to the fore at the expense of the others.Carie @ Space for the Butterflieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13060566680311122115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4323743198214996449.post-51138359372773399892015-04-03T13:37:03.382-07:002015-04-03T13:37:03.382-07:00I love your layout! Putting the squares together ...I love your layout! Putting the squares together and the triangles on the outside worked better than I imagined. I love how the cool colors are towards the edges and the warm colors are mostly in the middle. I vote for gray on the colors. Then after that is quilted I would test different threads on the gray. You just unwind several feet of thread and see how it looks. But I think it would be easier to decide the look you are going for once the main part is quilted. <br /><br />And I'm so looking forward to seeing the rose linen. Have fun quilting!

BUT then I looked at it again, you could use a darker gray thread on the gray, then use a purple thread in the blue/purple sections and a lime green in the ones with green/yellows. I just think with so much color in there already it might be overpowering to use a color on the gray, just my little ole thoughts!Vicki in MNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16155452692252270164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4323743198214996449.post-53130200109872678712015-04-03T07:00:21.663-07:002015-04-03T07:00:21.663-07:00I'd use a gray that matches the outer solid ov...I'd use a gray that matches the outer solid over the entire thing, but that's just me.

I would personally probably go for a matching gray thread all over for this one; I bet it would blend in better over all those colors than you might think! I also know what you mean about quilting patterns that require a lot of stopping and starting; have you considered just backtracking to get to the next spot to quilt? I will "cheat" like that sometimes - even Angela Walters suggested it in the class I took with her at QuiltCon.Yvonne from Quilting Jetgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15705160384198590025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4323743198214996449.post-57758745977802441712015-04-03T06:38:44.703-07:002015-04-03T06:38:44.703-07:00I vote colorful thread on the gray areas and a ble...I vote colorful thread on the gray areas and a blending thread on the colors!
