Linda, that would be a nice way to make it, and have a 3-D element to it. I ended up fusing mine with Heat and Bond and then stitched over the edges after it was fused. BTW I didn't see the instructions for this so I ended up figuring out it had to be made in three sections, then I seamed the two right side pieces together, and sewed them to the third piece. I did this by laying them right sides together and sewing along the printed line. (You can stick pins through the printed pattern at the corners to line them up right.) I was unable to sew one of the sections in so I changed the pattern (top right). I didn't notice till I was doing the top-stitching that I had two purples together, oh well.... it's a design choice!

Snip seam on curves so it will lay flat after turning. Next, make a slit in the center of the thin fabric and use this to turn the heart right side out. With a chopstick or other long pointy tool, make sure your seams are well turned and laying flat. Press then stitch to your background fabric by hand or machine, as you wish.
