Quilting an Attic Window quilt
I'm still learning my way around quilting and so far I've only hand quilted any I've finished. With a newly adopted niece who is Frozen crazy, I'd like to make her a quilt using the soft book pages made into attic window blocks. The problem is how to quilt it in time for Christmas. So if I use my machine, I'm pretty sure straight lines are going to be about the limit of my skill set, but if I just stitch near the ditch that leaves a lot of the inner window (the pages) unquilted. Will that be a problem? Am I making any sense? It's hard to explain to others what's inside your brain. I will be thrilled with any advice you have to offer.

Thanks you all! I'll give the outlining a try but I guess if I find it difficult with my machine, I can always resort back to hand quilting. This seemed like such a simple and quick idea at first. LOL But even simple things can look difficult to a newbie.

When I've outlined on my DSM I found that if I went very slowly and stopped frequently(to turn) it worked for me and I got through it.

I used a center panel and the book pages in a gift quilt. What I did was NO batting but backed with fleece. Sprayed them together and did my sewing.
my version of a Frozen panel
I must add, I did not stitch IN the book pages, just around them at the seams.
