When I made my queen size quilt I just stipple quilted it. Can you do it as a quilt as you go? being so big cutting the size down will make it easier to sew and no extra weight making it harder to sew.If you sew in the ditch, do it as a quilt as you go,it will be quicker and easier than stipple stitch. I also make little quilts for babies but only decent single big sized quilts will do in case I have family staying over.
