    Default Eiffel Tower Quilt
    Just wanted to share the quilt I made for my Granddaughter's 16th birthday. The tower is almost 3' tall, I made the applique all in one piece. Took me about 2 weeks to figure out how to do it.

    How cool is that! I'm sure she'll love this. So now that you figured it out, are you going to share that tidbit?

    The tower pattern was in 5 different pieces, all to large for the printer. I copied every section, then taped it all together, it was like putting a puzzle together, then cut it into pieces that fit on standard size paper. Then I used print and fuse applique paper, ran it all through the printer, pieced all together on the fabric then cut it out & fused it to the background fabric.
