Help - what color of thread to use to quilt
I don't want too much quilting to show on top of these placemats as I Love the print; but the bottom is a solid color, so I want the quilting to show. On the rare occasions when I have used the monofilament thread, it stretched and tangled badly so I hesitate to try it again. Have used different colors on each back. (Ignore wrinkles - have not yet pressed). Any suggestions ?

Planning and piecing are my happy places. Quilting is so not my thing
When in doubt, I go basic white. I don't think it will clash with the top and will show on the back.
For two colors maybe a very pale green on top and a darker rose on the bottom.
