well, i have them done. i just hope i've been careful enough. i've tried real hard to watch the seam allowances. no use getting it done, then having it fall apart. and i've really tried to watch to make sure i have my points 1/4 inc from the edge, etc. extra stitches at the points when appliquing, etc. i have one red applique block, that i want to redo another melon or two on, tho. the lst one i did. and then it will lay a while, while i think about what i want to do for quilting.....
