Wow thank you all ladies. You sure put my mind on calm mode. I was over worrying about the stippling not looking good on these even though I got a table topper gift last year with appliqué and it was stipples and I love it and you never really notice the quilting because they are simply placemats.
I think I will use the gold thread and small stipple for now so I can finish fast and since I float all my quilts so I have a large backing material ready and I will add placemats as I roll and quilt them so it will go really fast.
Thanks again for your help. You are all amazing
