Watermelon Block Tote Bag
Watermelon Block Tote with Quilting & Appliqué A Watermelon Block Tote is a take on the ever-popular “quilt block on a denim jacket” trend that’s taking the crafting world by storm.

So we’re making a Watermelon Block Tote to show our love for this sticky sweet treat. WATERMELON BLOCK TOTE SUPPLIES Watermelon Quilt Block Pattern (this one, Mod Melons…
