If you pinned it , did you put the pins too far apart? Try the spray adhesive to hold your layers together. You probably had to handle that quilt for days and days. Even a good adhesive may not have stood up to that much handling. Don't be so hard on yourself. This is an excellent effort. You never gave up. The colors and beautiful and it will be warm. We all had to learn things as we went along. Keep trying.
