1 watermelon
1 honeydew melon
1 cantaloupe melon
1 pint blueberries
2 pints strawberries
1 pound seedless green grapes
1 pound seedless red grapes
1/2 cup orange juice
juice from 3 limes
juice from 2 lemons
1/2 cup sugar
additional fruit, for garnish: sliced kiwi, sliced lemons, cherries, etc.

Using a pen, draw the outline of the watermelon basket. Start by drawing a 2" wide handle across the top of the watermelon, then draw the sides of the basket. Use the photo as a guide. Using a U-shaped fruit cutter for a scalloped edge, or a V-shaped fruit cutter for a zig-zag edge, or a sharp knife, remove the sections you've drawn. Using a melon baller, remove the flesh of the watermelon, honeydew melon and cantaloupe melon and place in a large bowl. Wash blueberries under cool running water. Add to the bowl. Wash strawberries under cool running water. Remove the stem and slice strawberries in half. Add to the large bowl. Remove grapes from the vine, wash under cool running water and place in the large bowl. In a separate bowl, combine orange juice, lime juice, lemon juice and sugar. Stir until sugar is completely dissolved. Add to the large bowl of mixed fruit and stir. Allow fruit to chill about 30 minutes. Transfer fruit to watermelon basket immediately prior to serving. Garnish with additional fruit.

Would make this again.
I have made this for many a summer party or picnic. It's always a big hit and makes a great centerpiece or even conversation piece. I often double the amount of fruit salad that I make, so that I can fill up the watermelon basket when it's empty.
