This block was a combination of regular and reverse appliqué. The outer white ring was sewn on top of a purple block before the melons were applied inside the purple ring. Then the purple melons were sewn on top of the whole bunch. It has a pretty shape with all the curves I think.
I remember making this one - it was a nightmare for me! I was fairly new to applique, and it was very difficult to figure out. I had to redo it several times before I was happy. Yours is gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty block.
ReplyDeleteI know this block as "reel". I think I like the DJ name better! Love the color - I immediately started visualizing a batch of purple rose garden blocks!
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous block!
ReplyDeleteWow, you did such a great job - love it.
ReplyDeleteI hope to half as good of a job on mine as you did on yours. You are cursing along with these blocks.
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful block. This quilt is going to be full of rich colors.
