Sand and Sea

Fall has made it clear that winter is not far behind.  This is the time of the year when we always have our first frost and it's a great time for taking inventory of all the quilts we have made this year.  But I'm not going to do that just yet.  Today I'm going to share photos of two crib quilts I made this week using leftovers from the wedding quilt.  I've just listed them on etsy.  Here we go!

Beach Baby 1

Beach Baby 1 is 52" x 66" in gender neutral sand and sea colors.  It would be great for a wedding quilt or a crib quilt.  The batting is Warm & Natural and the backing is a cotton dyed fabric that reminds me of the beach.  There seems to be more sand than sea in this one.  Reminds me of the Atlantic beaches down the shore.

Beach Baby 2

This one is smaller at 45" x 56 and has more sea than sand, except for the backing.  This is definitely more Gulf Coast, maybe Sanibel Island.  Again, good for a crib or wedding quilt although you can see the elliptical quilting in the white squares on this one (click on each photo for more detail). 

Wish I could take better photos!  This time I was able to improve my lighting but it is still difficult to set up the quilts so they don't look all lumpy.  Suggestions for improvement are welcome!
