Thank you, Marcella. I had only filed away "use silk thread with caution". I've appliquéd many blocks with silk thread and it causes me no little grief to suspect they might collapse. Polly

Thank you for all your help. I now have access to a 'Pickle Christmas Tree Ornament' that I'll get for her. I haven't found a PP pattern for a pickle as of yet, but I'll keep looking. I thought I might make-up a PP one and 'frame it' Probably about a 6 " finished square....that she could hang in her kitchen. ((I've found pp'ed patterns for: apple, peach, pear, tomato, etc, but NO Pickle as of yet.
Butterfly (and yes, she would hang it there: )
This is a link to the Christmas Pickle pattern. It was a paper piecing class that I took at my LQS several months ago. The center portions of the block are paper pieced and then are surrounded by 5 smaller pinwheel blocks. I've chosen to do mine in blue as opposed to the (apparently) typical green.

Gorgeous quilt. I have that pattern and all the fabric for it picked out. Now if I could just get to. It's on my someday list.
How about a single "jar block" with pickles in the jar?
