This feels a lot like putting together the pieces of a big puzzle. I made a few mistakes with my quilt and had a near catastrophe at the end when I flipped it over to fuse onto the background fabric and the entire thing started to fall apart.

It ended up being a bit of a “do what I say, not what I do” situation and I think the main reason I had some struggles is I was being too rough with the applique and flipping it over too much.

So make sure to watch the entire video to get all the tips you need for creating the Eternal Love quilt and connecting all the pieces together!

Let’s go quilt,
