Cool Melon - Mosaic Contest Entry

I've have been having so much making color palettes with Color Play Friday hosted by Trina of In an Otter Life and Lorinda of Laurel, Poppy and Pine that I couldn't resist entering the Cool Melon mosaic contest hosted by Rachel of Stitched in Color and sponsored by Gotham Quilts.

Every once in a while Rachel will hold these mosaic contests and this is my first time joining in the fun. Rachel provides the theme and offers up some gorgeous photos for inspiration. This time around the theme is Cool Melon. You can make up to 2 mosaics, each must be made up of 9 fabrics, and the mosaic should be evocative of melons.

I love melons. Watermelon, cantaloupe, casaba, crenshaw, honeydew, and so many more! I think my absolute favorite is orange-fleshed honeydew. Have you ever had it? It's so yummy! I can't find it where I live though. Maybe it's just a West Coast thing. Another funky one is yellow-fleshed watermelon. Say what? I had never heard of it until a visit to the Midwest last summer.

Naturally I had to take a photo to document my wild find. Lol. Honestly, it didn't taste any different to me than a regular watermelon.
