I have to admit, after seeing both of your applique stitching, I myself would have done invisible stitching. But your MIL's stitching, though visible, is consistent and really looks fine. I would leave it - after quilting it, you will love it.

Gosh I love this quilt!!! I am currently doing the exact same one. It is from Eleanor Burns quilt in a day. I think the applique stitch looks fine although I am making much smaller stitches in the one I am doing. To be given this top is a real treat.

This is just my VERY humble opinion. Good luck with whatever you decide-it's a lovely quilt.
