As for D11 and the steps for that I think it is one of the more difficult paper pieced blocks and I think that step by step should wait for the block party. :-)

Hubby thinks I'm crazy because I cut 12 of these circle templates and work on 12 circles at a time. I even used my template plastic to make a template of the block and cut out the circles so I could lay the block template on the background fabric and just pin on the circles that push the circles through the cut out and I'm ready to sew. Sounds crazy I know but it works for me and I don't have to measure each and every block for placement of the circles.

the "pillow" type method you would for the melons. you would trace the pattern onto fusible interfacing and sew the fabric to the interfacing wrongsides together.
the wrongside of the interfacing in this case is the fusible side.
then put a snip in the interfacing and turn the piece out like you would a pillow and finger press into shape.
once you're happy with the look fuse the piece onto the background fabric and then do a blind stitch around it to hold it in place.
if you want i can put up a tute this weekend since i'm going to be doing some applique.

I am doing blocks E3 H13 and K2
i like the green & gold swirl with the red/red tone fabric
i like the trees with the gold swirl. this fabric might look best for block H13 because it has the largest pieces and the trees will show nicely in those sections.
