So glad to hear that you resolved your problem and your melons look real good. Love your colour choices. I just finished block #3 …..

I found that the glue stick didn’t work very well for me either although I have used it in the past and can’t recall having a problem. Perhaps it is just trying to get the very precise sharp points. I gave up on glue and have gone to using spray starch painted on then ironed and that seems to be working better for me. Maybe I’ll have to see if I can find some of the Roxanne’s Glue Baste and give it a try.

I think its looking pretty good myself! I finally got a chance to try and do a little hand applique this evening and so far so good. I also LOVE the Glue Baste! A friend of mine uses Elmer’s White School Glue with great success but it leaves the fabric a bit stiffer in my opinion, and i thought for hand applique that might not be a good thing!

Thanks! o just had so many issues with the glue sticks, could have just been me but in the end the glue baste just worked better for me. I posted the information how i got the edges to work in case someone else was having a problem, if my ideal helps at least one other person I’ll be happy!

I just sold one of these tops, on my blog. It goes by the names llight and dark or sunshine and shadow in the book key to 1000 quilt patterns. I also know that over on Quilterscache.com it is called the depression block. I made my top from nickels that I had from several exchanges.
Your quilting looks great!

Your melon slices look good to me, and you know there isn’t a hard & fast rule as to the only way to achieve success on the glued edges. Hey, at least you are giving a try to what is obviously a challenging pattern! Good luck!

Great to meet you Valentina!
I know I’m a bit crazy when it comes to getting things organized, if you knew me personally you would never thing i was that fanatical about something like that!
Go right ahead and take my ideal about a binder and run with it. It’s nice to know i had a ideal that someone would want to actually use!
And just in case you don’t know…
My name is Elizabeth (aka: Lizzy or Beth) and I’m from Southern Illinois, land of wacky weather and ladybugs!

How exciting! I have signed up as well, but am not nearly as organized as you, but just as excited!
I liked your idea of having a binder… Would you mind if I made one for myself?
And I am still waiting for THE product to arrive… I was one of the ones that ordered the wrong one to begin with…
Well, I thought it would be nice to introduce myself,
Hi, I am quilting along with you, and my name is Valentina, and I am in Cyprus!
