Help me decide

I made 2 Dr. Seuss quilt tops in a red/white/blue colorway last spring. They have been sitting my craft room, waiting to quilt.

 

I am going to back them in a black Kona solid. I plan to quilt the top with white thread, in straight lines.

 

The question is...

 

Do I use black thread for the back so it blends in or do I use white for contrast?

  • Of course I haven't seen pictures, but what I imagine is that white thread on black fabric would look great with the bright colors and funky style of Dr.Seuss.

  • I'd probably use white, but I like the look of heavily quilted quilts.

    I will PIP in a few. I need to take one because I have no idea where the ones I took are :)

  • I'd do white too. Or, if you wanted to be daring, you could do white on top and clear on bottom. (I just bought some clear to try on some faux chenille burp cloths and I'm kind of excited.)

  • Thank you ladies! I think I'll go with the white. :) I'll PIP the tops soon. I got slammed with work yesterday.
