Sea Glass

51 x 60

Doesn't this quilt make you think of the sea?  I just love the blue and greens in this Kona Cotton quilt.  I used Breakers, Grasshopper, Mediterranean, Ultra Marine, Astral, Parrot, Ice Frappe, and Silver. 

This pattern is called Out of Step.  I removed the outer border from the original and added 4 rows and 1 column to make it bigger. I continued to follow the maze pattern, making it twist and turn at the bottom. I love how it turned out!

I wanted the quilting to look like waves.  It was harder than than I thought trying to control my longarm because I really wanted the wave to be equally spaced.  I was getting distracted with the up and down motion and had to do some seam ripping.

I found this button print in my stash and thought it went perfectly with my colors.  It's one of my HTU (hard to use) for  this month, a welcome surprise!  It reminds me of pieces of sea glass.

Linking with Needle and Thread Thursday.

This quilt is my One Monthly Goal for the month. You can see more of the goals met at Red Letter Quilts  I hope you'll join us next month and pick a goal for yourself.
