Watermelon Quilt inspiration
 
I can't take credit for the idea -- it's not new. I got the inspiration for the Watermelon Quilt here: http://www.dairybarn.org/quilt/index...page=281#smith You'll find the inspirational quilt at the bottom of the page. Thanks so much for your kind and encouraging comments. I feel all warm and fuzzy...

That turned out to be a gorgeous quilt. Who would think it was made from left-over scraps? You did a fabulous job placing colors.

Wow, your quilt is awesome! I love how the color sweeps across the quilt and splashes against the border! And your quilting in the border is so fun!!

Thanks, Wildyard. The quilting started out as a doodle. I swished and swirled until I found one I liked, then made the template. It's really hard to see from the photo, but the bottom right and the bottom left corners came out differently. The top corners came out corresponding to their opposite corners as well. It was a hoot to make, really.

Ditto! I couln't have said any better. But it is the way the colors sweep that makes this quilt spectacular. Thanks for sharing.

It is a work of art. I would hang it on a wall. You motivate me to try something like this with my scraps.
