Time is fast approaching for our 60th wedding anniversary hoopla/celebration/reception (three more weeks)! For the last couple of years off and on, I have been working on small quilts to use on the 15 tables with garden flowers for decorations. This summer I finished this watermelon pink version of "Time Woven In".
Our small hometown is world famous for its melon production, and every year since the late 1800s celebrates the harvest with a fair and a give away of watermelons. We got married 60 years ago on Watermelon Day weekend; and the bridesmaids dresses were watermelon pink!
This is the third time I have made a version of this pattern; and it is always fun and quick to put together.
This striped fabric I used in the setting blocks was purchased in Nashville on a teaching trip for American Quilter's Society. It happened to be on hurricane Katrina week, and I had a difficult (and scary) time getting home with all my quilts and class samples.
Therefore --- another quilt full of memories!
The stats:
"Time Woven In #3", 2018, 24" x 24", Machine pieced and Machine quilted.
