A less-than-optimal photo but at least it's not raining and there aren't any blinding sunspots and shadows on it. This is the kind of quilt traditionalists will find problematic; modern quilters will have less trouble with it. Fabric choices were made based on color and print; I purposely avoided prints with pink and orange in them because I wanted to focus on the colors of the ocean/gulf and the sand/flora of the beach. I had a blast making this and freely admit that it was inspired by a quilt I saw ("Sea Grass" or something like that) in a magazine (probably American Patchwork). The instructions for that quilt were all wrong; you wound up with all the blocks being on the bias. There's no way it would sew together or lay flat once sewn. So I redesigned it and this is perfectly easy to sew and will be easy to quilt as well.
Can't wait to show it off when it's finally quilted! xoxo Patty
OH it's beautiful and having lived by the ocean when I was first married, I can and do appreciate the colors in the=is quilt.
