What elegant and charming fabric. I love your first table topper. Nice work.

I made this table topper too. I used "warm and natural" and have no problem with items I display on it. I stitched in the ditch to quilt it.

That topper is so pretty. I am also doing a "French Braid" quilt top! I love the colors you used. I love all the advice everyone gave you. Good luck. (Not that you'll need it)

I'd just add the backing and quilt the two layers. It's VERY pretty!

Your table topper is beautiful. I sometimes use interfacing of a flannel. Like to see what everone says.

If I use batting under the top, won't it be soft? Thick quilting is beyond my capabilities!
I want to place tall candle stands on it, so would batting be a wrong choice? If so, what should I use between the top and the back?
I would appreciate any advice you have for me.
Thanks!

I would use Thermore batting. It is very thin which won't be lumpy when it is quilted and lays nicely when finished. It is really the best thing for Table Runners and Table Quilts.
