Hi, I made the ribbon quilt and DGD made one for herself for 4-H recently. We used a smaller needle. Took each ribbon and cut them all the same size. You will have to figure out what size best suits your ribbons. Then lay them out to a design,(we used them all in a row across) that you like. Sew each one together and make an assemble line with this as it does take some time to sew them all together. I do use batting under the ribbons to give them some definition as they lay pretty flat and undementional otherwise. Find a non tradition backing, not cotton to go on the back. I used a rather shiney back for DD's and DGD is using nylon fabric for making flags. We will use that to bind it with also. Just stitch in the ditch unless you add photos to yours too. Then stitch around in that design. Good luck let me know how you do. Here are the two of ours. :thumbup:
