Machine quilted and the green bushed cotton was used for the backing and binding.. Notice those weeds are still there in the background.
I found this the other day, could be inspiration for a primitive quilt. It was tucked away in a box of Jim's belongings that I had yet to go thru. A drawing from him when he was oh so young. His name written at the top left corner. I love the houses with their TV antennas bent over from the rain.
Hi Nancy,
ReplyDeleteI just love Jim's picture, how lovely it would be to turn it into a quilt block, can't wait to see it.
Weeds? what weeds? just juicy watermelon!!

I think Jim's drawing would make a wonderful primitive quilt. Perhaps as a wall hanging or even a table runner, and a very nice memento for you. Didn't notice the weeds, just the watermelon.
ReplyDeleteI love how that looks all quilted, really nice design.
ReplyDeleteThat picture is so cute and wonderful that he kept things like that, definitely something to work into a quilt.

Love your watermelon quilt and just in time for summer. Just love kids' drawings and Jim's is wonderful - agree this would make a great quilt!
ReplyDeleteYou were Miss Speedy on the watermelon piece. You just started it a few days ago.
