That is the plan .... I may have to tweak some
I've got a-3 done (not scanned yet) I did use a variation with diagonal side seams.
b-12 is basted - I'm just trying to decide the order of stitching. This one I also used
a variation in which will have seams between the melons, not the one where the
melons are "floating" on the background.
I did manage to float the circles in b-1 - so it may be possible to float melons as well.
I needed to use fray-check on the back of b-1, since I had to clip the background very close to the seam.
Today - I'm struggling with tr-1 - with all the vertical seams, it is turning out to be too wide,
especially at the bottom. I'll either have to narrow a few of the bars, or remove the 2 side triangles
near the bottom. I'll look at it again tomorrow.
