Beach Quilt #6, and Stash
It’s chilly here, but bright, so I snapped some pictures of the new Beach Quilt.
You can’t tell here, but the basket weave batik on the back is washed with a bit of aqua.
This will be SOLD in my Etsy Shop.
So that used 6.5 yards of fabric, some that was long in the stash, and I didn’t buy any this week. We’ll see how long that lasts!
This week: + 0 yards, – 6.5 yards
This year: + 30.75 yards, – 41 yards
Total destashed / added in 2020: 10.25 yards
Take care, everyone, and enjoy your sewing time.
Beach Quilts
These blocks were recently on my design wall, and are now assembled into my latest Beach Quilt.
In searching for quilting thread, this cone of Rainbows by Superior seemed way too yellow for this quilt. But I like the sheen, and my machine loves to sew with it, so I gave it a try.
The Twilters on Twitter felt it was just the dash of sunshine I needed.
I’ll show the finished quilt if when the storms clear up here.
Beach quilts have been popular in my Etsy shop, so I try to keep one there. These are five previous quilts, which I’ve shipped to three coastal states and Denmark. I love to make these- maybe one of these days I’ll keep one!
Take care of yourselves!
