This one is Twin Sister and it is not as bad as some others to come. However, it does have a number of melons that have to be carefully placed on the background. And they do - I had to undo one I had partially appliqued because it had shifted. And all those wonderful corners to turn. My method for melons is freezer paper underneath, and turn the seam allowances under. Then I slit the background fabric and take the freezer paper out. I use a neutral gray silk thread. It is very thin and fine (but strong!) and blends in with the background of most fabrics that I use.
This blue is a new fabric I ordered and I think it looks great.
I am linking up with Connie at Freemotion by the River and with Quilt Story, as I do most weeks I have blocks to share. Both blog hops have of pictures of pretty quilt blocks and other projects.
I am on Facebook too: just search for Viridian61. I post only when I have put up a blog post, and very little else.

Very nice block. I also use silk thread, for me it is the best way for appliqué. Thanks for sharing.
