Ramona’s watermelon bench pillow front

Ramona make this super cute watermelon bench pillow front, the pattern is by Kimberbell Designs.  I love the patchwork watermelon, and the mix of beautiful reds.  Now she will add the back and a zipper, then stuff her BIG bench pillow in it.  I used a couple of different circle rulers for the orange peel look, and then freehanded the rest of the quilting.  Doing the freehand crackle in backgrounds is easy and a fast filler.  Any requests for a video?  

I used a white 30 tex Perma Core thread from A&E, and a 8020 cotton poly batting.

thanks for stopping by!
