There are 12 side blocks - have almost finished #11 - and one centre block 36" x 36". That one is going to be a nightmare! The only way I think I'm going to be able to do that is to iron on a small section, stitch it, then iron on another small section...
Have you tried good old washable Elmers School Glue??
