Complete novice needs helps please
Hi all,
I'm looking for some help please, Never. ever tried quilting before, I usually do needlepoint and cross stitch.
Having made several needlepoint rugs and cushions, I decided it would be rather neat to make a quilt using the same designs (glutton for punishment or what!).
Anyway the cross stitch panels I've made are about 16" (40cm) square - like this one.[ATTACH=CONFIG]607032[/ATTACH]
I have batting, but no idea how to go about turning them into a quilt - do I sew all the squares together and then quilt them or sew each square onto a piece of batting and then quilt them individually then sew them together.
I intend to quilt around each flower.
Also what it the best thread to use to hand quilt them. The squares are 27 count Zweigart Linda pure cotton and the batting is bamboo and cotton mix.
Thank you for reading, hope someone can give a complete dummy some help.
