I cut open our tiny seedless watermelon tonight to find how how pretty it was. I've never seen this design in one before. I had to take a pic before the kiddos ate it.

And just to let everyone know....it tasted delicious!!!! We had to find the watermelon on my table topper before anyone could eat too!!! The kids think that is so much fun. :)

When you posted your topper that was my thought - what fun it would be to have the kids 'find the food' that they would be eating or put that 'beautiful' pineapple each morning on a block showing something they want that day.

When I read that you 'cut a watermelon', I thought you lost your mind. Thinking 'you can't get a good watermelon in January'. I expected it to be pale in color. You fooled me. That does look delicious.

Looks like a Spiral Quilt (see RaNae Merril)!

I was surprised it was so good. It was so small though. I pay the same price for the huge ones in the summertime. So worth it to be eating watermelon in the middle of the winter!!!

Watermelon. What a wonderful summer treat in the middle of winter. And a free quilt block design, too.

Riversong 01-15-2011 05:19 AM

Wow!!! God sure makes pretty stuff. Can you imagine the quilts he would design!

hannajo 01-15-2011 08:05 AM

Looks pretty and delicious! Now I'm just gonna wait for someone to make that into a quilt block...
