Join us on a TQS exclusive 12-month creative journey with Becky Goldsmith as we bring you "Sizzle," a stunning quilt designed especially for TQS.

Each month we will provide photos, detailed directions for a portion of the quilt, and full-size patterns. Becky has also created a selection of "how-to" videos to guide you along the way.

Let's use this Topic "Sizzle Show and Tell" as a place to show off your beautiful Sizzle Blocks. That way, you know where to come to see what everyone is doing.
The topics that apply to each month are a good place to ask questions or make suggestions for each block.
AND when you post your photos to Social Media, like Instagram, Facebook, etc., use either of these hash tags so everyone there will be able to find our wonderful work:

I had the same issue, and yep I did mostly the same. I also used a small rug to clear the edges afterward. That's it

I used the Sewline fabric glue pen, it says washable and soluble. Not so much, I guess! Soaked for several more hours, still glue in there. I'm making masks for the local hospital where I work now, so the glue spots will wait for later. Kathy

I soaked the borders for less than a half hour in warm water and the glue came out. I used Quilters Select Fabric Glue pen.
