In the past month, beside working on the Mission 31 - Adult quilts. I finished a baby quilt, 2 donation quilt that used to be UFO's in my stash, and tomorrow I will finish the quilting of the watermelon quilt for a friend who turns 50 on Thursday.
The elephants are heading to Florida. The two donation quilts were for a silent auction at my cousin's Fire House. The Striped quilt was present with 2 movies, candy, popcorn and drinks and the Ispy quilt was present with 2 seek and find books, candy, popcorn and drinks. She said that a lot of ladies commented it was nice to see 'female' type donation.
It will have a heart for all those she loves, 3 watermelon wedges with her kid's names quilted in them, 50 watermelon flowers to celebrate her 50th birthday, 3 stars to represent our friendship - past, present and future. (we have been friends since kindergarten) and a cross for God's blessing in her life. It will presented to her with two personal watermelons (her favorite).
Thanks for looking. Have a great week.

Thank you. I used the standard log cabin block but modified it to look like watermelons. The only think I really changed was the last two bars, split them into different sizes to give me the rind look.

I have however made a matching card set to an I-spy quilt I made before. A lot of extra work went in to that and it wasn't time I had this time.
