Patchwork Quilts

Hi Mumsnet crafters,

I'm after some advice/inspiration. I usually crochet but I'm looking for a new hobby to try out.

I've always wanted to try make a patchwork quilt, but I don't have much experience in sewing and I don't own a sewing machine, which most of the tutorials use.

Is it possible to hand sew the pieces together? I was thinking of getting a fat quarters pack and practicing the running stitch. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance! 🌸

I was given lots of hexagons ready picked from my grandmother, so made a quilt from those.
Loved sewing them together to make flowers and diamonds.
I have heard of quilting services, if you get it made- you could always send it off to be quilted and finished.
