Now THAT'S a coincidence!! The cake looks delicious, but that topper is a gem! what a cute idea, and I do love the watermelons. I want one just like it!

And funny that is my watermelon wall hanging that I had posted in the past although I did send it out to be quilted by a LAQ because I can't do that beautiful feathery stuff. And here is what I made recently to go with it.... I purchased the doilies and made a little mini quilt and attached them. So you can see that I love watermelon stuff and now so does my sister. It was so exciting to me to find that cake for her.

Love the table topper, and I'm sure all was enjoyed.

rosiewell 07-25-2012 07:50 AM

very nicely done, it adds a lot to the table.

Sallyjane 07-25-2012 07:55 AM

Wow, I hope you show your sister all these compliments! I love the checkerboard idea for a table topper. The watermelon theme is great. Did you know the topper was a watermelon theme before buying the cake, or was it a coincidence?

Sorry I missed the party!

Adorable......I know she did this on her own, but I would love this pattern or atleast her measurements of the center to get started.

perfect for summer dining

She said that she looked up an official checker board online to figure out how many squares there were on a board and it has 64 squares (8X8) so she made that many and her's were 3 in squares but you could make them whatever size you want. I think she said that she was going to get big buttons for the checkers.
