Default Sweet, Sweet, Sumertime !

The oh so sweet and yummy watermelon panel tablecloth has been delivered to its rightful home on my grandmothers dining room table !

Thought I normally hate using a light colored binding on ANYTHING, since she requested it, I did it.
Once the last leaf comes out of the table it will sit just right. It is still in need of washing to get the last of the chalk lines out, but I wanted to get pictures of it actually ON her table when I dropped it off today.
She has her eye on a watermelon bowl that she saw when she was out earlier this week, for the center of the table, and I think that will look perfect !

For all of you screaming ” OMG look at all that WHITE on the TABLE with no plastic to protect it ” please relax, as the inside dining room table is never used in the summer ! It is kitchen or screened in porch dining only !

This was taken before trimming and binding.

I was at a loss as to how to quilt the actual panel squares, so I just tacked them using a 3 inch grid, just as if I was going to tie them, only I FMQ'd some short side to side stitches instead ! ( pardon the chalk marking lines )

No pattern, I just worked it up in EQ7. The panel prints are 12 inch square, so I just used 6 inch squares, HST and 12 x 6 geese.
