Default I'm going to try hand quilting

I've never tried before, but I have a collection of different colors of Mettler 50 wt. Back when they changed their color numbers, I found it at quilt shops for real low prices. But now I have a wall hanging that uses several of these colors. It's almost like it was meant to be.
I know in my head what it should look like and I'll never get there...the arthritis is just to bad. But I'll settle for less if I can just get the stitches even. My question is what would be a good needle for this? I've used Milliners needles for sewing down my bindings and it seems comfortable to use them. Will the quilt police take me away? Is there a better needle that maybe is a little longer? I have quilting needles, applique needles, chenille needles, embroidery needles and sharps. Would somebody please point me in the right direction because I don't want to have to try every one of those. Thanks!!
