hand quilting a gfg
Has any one hand quilted a gfg and what type of quilting design did you use. It is going to be a wall hanging so my other question is do i need either batting or flannel or can i quilt without either one. I started hand quilting it and am having a difficult time getting the needle through all the layers. I did cut away the background fabric where the flowers are but there is still a lot of fabric within the hexagons and my needle just doesn't want to go through. I started out with polyester batting, replaced it with Pelons cotton batting but it made no diffrrence in trying to quilt it.
Any suggestions will be more th a n welcome. I have already changed the batting out twice and am thinking of flannel but not sure if it will be any easier to quilt.
