    Thanks Luv, that works really well, just like Blue's card board trick! Makes for perfect circles and melons.

    You know Patti, that reminds me. I have never seen you post your photo on any thread, including the photo ones. I looked specifically for you. I saw you posted comments, but did not see you...hmmmm....let me see your hands and your face my dear.

    thank you. my hands tend to be dry and crack so i use the Mary Kay Satin Hands Pampering set on them. it does wonders for hands and feet and even elbows.

    Your blocks came out great Janstar! These were really tricky for me, being new at applique. I'll post mine but will have to redo one of them.

I have made a point of making oversize and trimming back afterwards, and this was a good one to do that, as far as I am concerned. Then I appliqued all the leaves/melons onto the background.
    Lacelady they're gorgeous!

    Here are mine for the week...I have to admit..F9 was the first time I've ever sewn a curve! I sewed the center part by pin, pin, pinning!, then appliqued the melons using the freezer paper method. The same method worked well on F13, but used BlueChicken's circle method for the circles. The diamonds on G11 were done with the freezer paper templates too...some of the points are not as sharp as I'd like, but they are ok. The Tri is pretty straight forward this week.
    Looking really good Sandpat!
