I am making a quilt for my baby (girl due in oct) and have some questions.
Description: Snowball 9 patch. The focus fabric is Raggedy Ann and Andy squares. RA&A are wearing their traditional red and blue clothes, but the background fabric is pastel colors(pink, purple, yellow, orange). For the corners of the sb, I used pink polkadots. The nine patches are yellow and purple polkadots with the center square cut from the RA&A background. I am putting a pink polkadot border on it. Since there seems to be more yellow in the front, I think I am going to use the purple polkadots for the backing.
Now for the questions: What color thread should I use? maybe varigated pastel thread? Should I stitch in the ditch of all seams? Do I even have time to hand quilt it before the baby comes in October? I probably have access to a frame, but would like to take this project with me, can you tell me about lap frames? Any advice for a first time handquilter would be greatly appreciated! God Bless!
