Summer
is nearly over; we've had a couple of mornings below 60°
to enjoy. That's unusual for August in Tennessee! Still, today's lovely quilt brings thoughts of tropical island
breezes.
Classic
navy and white prints contrast nicely with Caribbean green. I adore these colors and have made several quilts with this combination. The
chisel blocks were wonderfully quick to cut and sew.
I
chose light aqua thread and a zig-zag utility stitch to quilt
vertical lines 1½” apart. Sail The Caribbean finished as a 48” x
54” rectangle.
Once
this one was finished, I straightened up my sewing room, updated
fabric inventory, and cleared the decks for the next project.
By the way, thanks for all the nice comments on Facebook about last week's blog post, our refurbished Singer 404 (Midnight). I'll be using him to stitch something soon.
