Hello, I have been loving the board. I am Patti from Texas.
I have a couple of questions I know someone can help me out with.
First question--is about thread, do you use quilting thread
to actually sew the quilt or just to quilt the quilt. dumb huh.
Second question -- I have a lot of fabric that is flowers, all different background colors. what would be a good quilt to
make with that.
I am a pretty new quilter. have made 3 tops but not couragous enough to quilt them yet. working up to that.
Thank you for all your help
Patti

Hello and welcome to the board :D:D:D
Quilting thread is typically waxed coated and should not be used in the machine. It will leave a waxy mess :wink:
No such thing as a dumb question, though, we all have questions no matter how long/short a time we have been quilting :D:D:D
Maybe a Warm Wishes pattern? It would show off your florals nicely :D:D:D

Hello and welcome from Fort Worth.
I'm not sure what kind of flower fabric you have, but I absolutely love this flower quilt.
