Welcome to our world. I would recommend sewing all of your blocks together into a top and then layering it with your batting/wadding and a solid back. Especially if you are going to handquilt as there will be fewer seams for you to quilt through. It does make for a big project. Once you have completed one it will not feel so overwhelming.

Here's the link to an excellent tutorial by Leah Day on the QAYG method that I prefer. I have made a number of queen- and king-sized quilts using this method on my regular sewing machine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7_lwOfZWM8

quilt as you go quilts are a great way to get them quilted when you don't want to deal with all the bulk, hassle of a large quilt- there are lots of tutorials showing the technques- you can quilt each block any way you want to then join the blocks with narrow sashing strips...Elenor Burns has a pattern out called the 6-hour quilt that shows another quilt as you go technique...go for it, have fun with it & show us pictures---we love looking
