Okay, so DH and I are on the hunt for new bedding and can't find anything we like. So I now have a bug up my ass that I can sew this quilt.

I'm not an expert, but the good news is that my Nana is pretty damn handy with a sewing machine.
What kind of fabric do I want to buy?
Also, talk me through the logistics of making this big enough for a queen bed.
tia!

Kona cotton fabric, Warm and Natural 100% cotton batting and cotton quilting thread. :Y: Looks like a good first quilt.

Okay, so here's my question.
Can I get Kona wide enough for a queen bedspread, or am I going to have to piece it together?
And IF I'm piecing it together, won't the seams from doing that throw off the overall look of the quilt? Or am I overthinking this?

Looks like a good, easy project. And PPs are right - you'll hardly notice the seams with all of the quilting.
