I believe there was a tute on the board about this, not long ago.The quilt is gorgeous!
The vine is all finished except for being sewn down . I did it the way they make the bias for celtic knot quilts. Lots of ironing. I had forgotten about the fusible. Yes!!!! That will save me some time. Then I can straight stitch the edge instead of going for the zigzag. going to look for the tute right now.
