You can also buy quilt blocks/patterns and make the quilt that way. I picked up a wedding ring quilt pattern and stitched out all the blocks. You add the batting while your embroidering the block or not. I did and won't do it again that way as I want to be able to put all 3 layers together and add a bit more quilting to attach the 3 layers. The ring on the block did not have any quilting on it so that's where I'll add plus at each intersection where the blocks come together. Hopefully that will be enough quilting to keep it together. I have the top together but my basting stitches are showing in areas so a friend said she'd remove them for me. Hope long that might take, I have no clue but it was nice of her to offer and I grabbed it.
