Are you a fruit lover? Watermelons are very popular because of their refreshing properties, which are mainly due to the high amount of water in their composition –around 91%–, but also because of their sweetness and delicious texture, especially when refrigerated!
You can turn them into juice or dice them in salads for variety, too. And, if you have some wonderful watermelon fabrics like we do, and some quilting experience, you can make a fantastic quilt with this free sewing pattern!
As you will appreciate in the images below, the quilt design uses mainly strips and squares, except for the small octagonal shapes seen in one corner of each block, that will require many tiny triangles. The geometrical disposition of the design, with straight lines that run the full length of the quilt, calls for accuracy too! Therefore, you will need to be a somewhat experienced quilter, and extra-careful while working on this project, which measures about 178 x 217cm once finished.
The Timeless Treasures fabrics used here belong to the Watermelon Party series, and the quilt itself includes a solid green fabric, a really fun design with watermelon items on pink, a gorgeous fabric in dark pinkish-red with black ants, a great contrasting pattern with watermelon slices on black, and more. We are adding here a few pictures of fabrics from our kawaii shop that may serve as backing for your quilt. Please, send us your own photos of the project if you decide to make it! We would love to see and share them!
We’re getting hungry just looking at this quilt!
What a fun design!
