Do Sew does shrink a bit when heated so I'd hit it with the iron and a little steam before thread is applied to prevent puckering if you ever wash it. Great truck! It will turn out beautifully.

thank You! I will try that, it'd be much easier to shift things around than with the pins!

Your design looks great and I'm sure the finished quilt will be fabulous
