Okay, so I have knitted a few smaller-ish blankets. And I have had a hard time with the cable circular needles. With me, the blanket gets heavy and makes it hard to work with and I can never do more than a small (almost baby size) blanket. So my question is if I knit several (well a lot) of small patches and them sew them together, in like a patchwork quilt pattern would that look okay? Has anyone ever tried one like that and did it come out decent? I’d hate to waste all that yarn for it to turn out horrible. Thanks for any feedback!
Well, I’ve never really had any interest in quilting before but now that I’m a mummy I thought it would be quite cool to make a little quilt for my son.
So I thought I’d just make 2 little patchwork blankets of cotton squares, and stitch them together with some padding in the middle – just as a first attempt. I’d love to get into the ‘fancy’ stuff and techniques at some point in the future, but for now I just want to try something simple like that.
Do you think this stuff would be ok to put in the middle?

I don’t want to spend too much money at this point if possible because it’s just a fun experiment for me to see how I find it and also I want it to be a ‘light’ quilt as the weather is getting warmer now.
I’d be really grateful for any opinions or advice on this?
Thank you!
