About The Pattern
This project finishes at 52″ x 19″, and is designed with advanced beginners in mind. The majority of this piece is straight piecing, with mitering for the rind borders. The pattern includes step-by-step photos to help you with each step of the cutting and piecing process. Make it with a single fabric for the watermelon flesh, or use a variety of reds for a scrappy look!
