Questions on quilting, border and backing
Okay, here is a tshirt quilt I am working on for my niece (special goddaughter). I still have to put the 2 inch black border around it and another 2nd border.
My questions are:
#1. For the border, do you sew the side on first or the top and bottom border?
#2. I don't know if she will use it for a lap quilt or on her bed. Is flannel okay to use for a backing? Flannel just seems so much more warmer and cozier.
#3. What do I do for the quilting part. I planned on taking it to the lady that has a long arm. What kind of pattern would you use and thread color?
That's it!! Thanks for your help!
