ok please don't laugh, but i have a question. could you take a cross stitch pattern and turn it into a quilt? instead of cross stitching it, make your squares? am i making sense?

Don't see why it wouldn't work. I do not think it would be easy but might be really special and a one of a kind. I would start out by putting the design on good graph paper and go from there.

I agree it wouldn't be easy, but you could do it.

Before I did anything, I would first put it on graph paper and decide what type of material you wanted. Then I would check to see if you can get the colors you want, especially if it would be in the color of cross stitch.

Good luck if you try doing it. Go slowly though so that you don't get frustrated. Let us know what you decide to do.

That's basically what the woman on tv did that I posted about a few weeks ago. She used a picture though and graphed it. (which imo is the same as any other item graphed) She then cut 1.5" squares to represent each square on the graphing paper and assembled and sewed the squares together on fusible webbing and then quilted it.
