I have my quilt almost done. Our LQS did this as a BOM a few years ago. I used the black and batik but enlarged to a 12" block. It made the pieces more manageable and gave me a bed sized quilt. I needle turned but back basted first. It gave me the most accurate result. Some girls doing the original size fused it. I have my blocks together and need to add the borders. I am not using the ones in the book. Instead I am adding on a 6" black border with sharks teeth and then quilting in the hearts.
