Nature's
muted colors combined beautifully with large hexagons in this throw
sized quilt. Light aqua, soft brown and cream prints made me think
of a cozy beach cottage.
Measuring 42" x 53", Seaside Cobblestones is currently draped across the back of my bedroom chair.
The
AccuQuilt half hexagon die made sewing this one quick and easy with
all straight seams. The backing and binding is a tan and white
crosshatch pattern.
Free
motion quilting was done on my Flynn Frame. I stitched large swirls
with medium tan thread in each hexagon first, then removed the frame
to decorate the borders. Small swirls and applique stitching
finished it off with flair.
Until
I can get a beach trip scheduled, I'll just retreat to our bedroom
and dream of the ocean.
“For
her
the ocean was
more than a dream,
it was a place she needed
to
visit to find herself.
And
when she returned
to the city,
you could see
the sun in her eyes,
the
wind in her hair,
and the taste of
the infinite salt
on her lips.”
