Sea Glass for my Gracie Girl.
This is my entry for the Bloggers Quilt Festival.
I made this quilt last month for Gracie, with out her knowing it was for her. I'm not so great at surprises. She was so excited to find out it was meant for her all along.
When we went to Cabo, Gracie and I loved walking the beach picking up sea glass. The name seemed perfect for the quilt and for Gracie.
You may remember this quilt. It was the "left overs" from cutting out Sea Glass, but I actually sewed it first. I love to play with scraps.
Half Square Triangle Tutorial here.
Thanks for stopping by, enjoy the quilt festival!
Fabulous quilt! And what a great memory - all those triangles seem perfect as sea glass!
ReplyDeleteI loved the quilt you made with the scraps and this one is beautiful too! The seaglass colours are just perfect!
ReplyDeleteLove the colors. Love the memories tied to it. You are amazing.
ReplyDeleteHey Allie, Fabulous quilt! Well done! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteLove the color combination you used in this quilt, and what a terrific name you chose for it.
ReplyDeleteWOW it's beautiful. Now I know I must make one of these quilts. Love the color combo.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous quilt. I love, love, love the colors.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great color combo!
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing! I love the chocolate brown with the blue.
ReplyDeleteOh Allie - this is stunning - the name is so perfect!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous quilt, I love the colours!
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning quilt! The name is perfect! As a West Coaster, I've often collected sea glass and you've captured that theme perfectly!
ReplyDeleteVery striking. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI've seen this on flickr and it's a beautiful quilt. Lots of patience for all those half triangles!
ReplyDeleteThat's a perfect name -- it really does remind me of sea glass. It's a beautiful quilt!

ReplyDeleteWonderful memories! I love Half Square Triangles, I truly enjoy piecing them.
ReplyDeleteLovely Quilt.
Beautiful quilt! I like the scraps against the dark solid - so dramatic!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt, gorgeous name, wonderful memories. Fabulous Allie. I love playing with scraps and leftovers too, your Caribean quilt is gorgeous too xo
ReplyDeleteOh those colours together are just beautiful and it really has the feel of the bits of flotsam and jetsom you find on the beach.
ReplyDeleteYour quilts are always gorgeous! I especially like the colors in this one! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI love the color combination! The name is perfect for it, too, and I like how it is tied to a specific memory. Gorgeous quilt!
ReplyDeleteI love this quilt and the colors in it! They positively glow! Can you tell me the solid you used (I can't quite tell if it is a brown or an eggplant color). I also love what you did with the leftovers. I've done that, too -- make a quilt with the leftovers before the original quilt :)

ReplyDeleteI love it! Great fabrics & design.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great color combo, and a great showcase for all those yummy blue and green prints!
ReplyDeleteI never would have thought of combining a solid (or at least solid looking) brown fabric with the sea coloured fabrics like you did. The result is simply stunning - you got me thinking ;-)) Thank you so much for sharing; be sure I'll come back!
ReplyDeleteThe color combination is so soothing, yet bold at the same time! What a wonderful quilt!
ReplyDeleteA lovely quilt. I think the colours are fantastic.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work! I think I will be following you! And thanks for your comments on my entry :-) It is funny how our blogs both have the "ocd" name!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful job!
