Cute quilt block. I love the small print you used in the back-round. I did a large leaf quilt in applique and I did it all by hand.It seemed to go fast and was vey simple to do. What made it nice was it was 4 large leaves on a large single colored block. I used all colored prints for the leaves and set them on white blocks. Then I used gren for the sashing and border.Good applique to practice on. Not near as hard as some I've done. Quick quilt to do.

Your applique block looks great! I know how tedious it is to cut fusible web for the stems. If you ever decide to do more applique you might want to get basting glue.
There is a product called Glue-Baste made by Roxanne Products Co. You can find it in well stocked LQS's and on the web. It is a small 2oz. bottle with a needle thin top for applying very small dots of glue. :D

I didn't think of using glue and I should have. I have some glue that I use for raw edge machine applique and for attaching binding.
I've heard of the circles but haven't looked into it yet. I save those thin, hard cardboard pieces that come with charm packs and use them for templates.
I got 7 of the berries done tonight, maybe I can get it done tomorrow and get the rest of the top sewn together. :-P
