Watermelon Wednesday

I was in the mood to make this watermelon table runner again. Heather from Anka's Treasure has a watermelon runner pattern in one of her books. I modified it a bit with different measurements for the watermelon wedges. From there I did my own thing for the runner layout. 


I used Heather's Triangular ruler to cut the wedges. So fun to make! 


A green backing makes you think the watermelon has been devoured and only the rind left;)


Have a wonderful Wednesday my quilting peeps!  Remember I will reply to your comment in the comment section:)

      Thank you! Sometimes I just get giddy when I have the perfect backing! I actually bought a bolt of this one and was using it for St. Patty's stuff but it is doing double duty now!

    That is adorable, Vicki! Such a great idea to make the watermelon slices out of wedge shapes. I love the black and white dots and the red and white gingham borders, too. Very summery!
