Seaside


I thought I'd branch out and take my Seaside quilt to the seaside for photos today, rather than my usual spot by my neighbours' newly painted grey house!


I'm really happy with how this quilt turned out. As I was making the pinwheels, I was really unsure if I'd made the right choice of design for these fabrics, but when Tim held it up for me, I just loved how only some of the pinwheels stood out, depending on the light, and where you were looking.


For the back, I used Yellow Bikini Floral, with a little extra colour, a pinwheel and a square of Main Day on the Beach, the adorable illustrated print in this line. I just love yellow to back a quilt!


Isn't our local beach beautiful? I just love this big round shallow pool. Did you know, under all that sand, there used to be a big map of the world? It was destroyed by a storm, or so Tim tells me. I wish I could have seen it!
This quilt is now available in my Etsy store.

I so love your comments! I read all of them and reply when I can. If you don't hear back, I'm lost under a mound of scraps or outside jumping on the trampoline with the kids. Jodi. xx
