Watermelon Wheel - Clementine QAL Block 1

Watermelon Wheel is a great name for a block, especially fun during these cold days of January.  Makes me think of summer!   This is the first block in Fat Quarter Shop's Clementine QAL.

There are two sets of blocks - the larger ones


And the smaller ones


Although these blocks are intended to be sewn together in the final layout, I'm waiting on that step to give myself some different layout options.


I've chosen to use fabrics from Moda Creekside for my quilt. I'm not sure I'll use that green print though.  I've other fabrics from my stash that I might mix in as well.



Fat Quarter Shop's Clementine QAL benefits St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital.  Quilters are encouraged to donate $5 for each block pattern.  I really love how they support a different charity each year.  If you love the fabrics in the sample quilt, you can order the kit!

You can ready more about the QAL and get the first block pattern today on the Jolly Jabber and read more about the Clementine QAL.

I am happy to be sharing this QAL blog hop with all these other bloggers - go check them out!
