This makes a 12" block! and has NOTHING to do with Watermelons ...but on the day I am starting this pattern, we have just had our first Very Warm Day , and that has EVERYTHING to do with Watermelon! |
|
It's another very old quilt block and very nice when done in two contrasting colors, but don't limit yourself to that! :o) Please abide by the Terms and Conditions of use! :o) |
** Preparing the Pieces and Sewing the Block ** |
