Today is the fifth Saturday of June of the color blue. I missed reporting the first Saturday, so today is my day to showcase the Meals on Wheels place mats that I have been making this year.
Now this challenge was definitely a challenge. The theme of the Table Scraps June 2024 is watermelon. To me, blue and watermelon just don't mix. I did 'see' watermelon fabric on blue background...YES! That would work BUT the idea is to try and use what you have.
After trolling Pinterest, I found this image and thought I could make it work.
Next, I used blue as the background!
I quilted wavy lines on the place mats. Two were bound in the green plaid...which now only a few scraps are left and blue bindings on the others.
I did struggle with this challenge but am happy I stuck with it. Even if the piecing was a little harder than I wanted to make for Meals on Wheels place mats!

Very cute watermelon slices, especially with the little bites out of each.
Your watermelon blocks are cute!!! And the blue background is perfect for the placemats. Great job figuring this one out, Pat!
What cute placemats. I am sure the recipients will appreciate the extra time that they took.
Your Meals on Wheels clients are going to love the watermelon placements. They are so whimsical.
