A Slice of Summer...

Thank goodness I finished this quilt off while there is still a SLICE of Summer left!

SEW...What do you think? CUTE?!

I ended up breaking up the green and red border with a wee red checked flange, for a pop of colour!

 This quilt REALLY reminds me of my Grade One days...I often did a
Welcome Back to School Bulletin Board where the kids made watermelon slice booklets (they would draw a picture of their favourite Slice of Summer under the watermelon cover flap..and maybe print a few words...:) and of course they had to include the ants...and sing the 'Ants Go Marching' song....ahhh yes, the good ol'days! haha
 I love this sweet quilt...I did improv slices so each slice is just a bit different... and those ants...just out and out...adorable!
 Did this bad boy Ant just use my quilt for a bathroom? haha (I know, I know...my audience has changed! BUT my Grade Ones would have LOVED that comment!)
 Oh well...Life's a Picnic...even in Grade One!

I hope your Slice of Summer is sweet and delicious...AND the good news is... there is still plenty of it left, so get out there and enjoy it!!



Thanks for marching by...keep on stitching!~P

  4. Cute. And I like that you used a variety of red fabrics for the watermelon slices.

  5. Really cute little quilt. Our summer has been so hot and humid that it has been hard to enjoy. But it beats snow any day.
