Default Quilting with Denim Question

Okay, I've got this idea brewing in my head for doing one of those shabby chic circle quilts using my fiance's old jeans, but I've got a question about it.

The fabric I'm going to use with it is a bandanna print I found on Amazon that is the cutest and super colorful, but I'm not 100% sure on the thread or the needle. I know it's going to depend a lot on what my machine can handle, which judging by the needle chart, it says to use a size 18, but I'm worried that it might punch too big of a hole in the fabric.

I'm also wondering about thread, am I right to assume a regular dual duty thread will work? I'm just really worried about the fabric. Has anyone found the sweet spot to quilting with denim?
