It's almost July and where I live it's hot and we have a lot of sunshine and we yearn for some ocean breezes. I haven't been to the beach in several years (but I'm not a fan of bathing suits and sand, btw). I published my Ocean Breezes pattern in my 2018 Quilter's Block a Day Calendar (by Andrews McMeel). Here's a digital version:

Ocean Breezes: 32" x 32". 8" blocks |
I am considering this as a Block of the Moment (not monthly; probably weekly). Is there any interest?
I've pulled my fabrics. These are Bedrock by Windham Fabrics (and a renegade green Fairy Frost).

I've made a few of the blocks. What do you think of the Cabana? It is paper pieced and the quilt uses two of these.

I've traced my templates for the Whale (two blocks), Palm Tree (two blocks) and am almost done with the boat, which sits in the center. I have the supply list ready, too!
I've made the two Square in a Square blocks. I had to pull in some Fairy Frost green and my background is my favorite Kona Snow.

So, are you interested? I can start it in the middle of next week (after the July 4th holiday here in the States). Let me know (because I can't read minds over cyberspace!)
I'm ready! Love the beach and am redecorating in beach style. Also, haven't been to the beach since before the pandemic started.
ReplyDeleteWell, I guess it's time to go back to the beach! These are fun blocks!
DeleteHi Debby! Block of the moment! What a good idea for a low stress summer project. I’m interested:)
ReplyDeleteOK. It will start next week. Glad you're interested.
DeleteCute summer project . . . let's do it! Looking forward to a trip to the beach in September.
ReplyDeleteDiane. You can get this finished before September. I hope to reveal one block a week.
DeleteLooks like it would be a fun quilt to make.And different .
ReplyDeleteYes, very beach themed! They are new blocks to me (to sew). I think you'll enjoy them.
DeleteCount me in!! I love sew alongs and your quilt is super cute?!
ReplyDeleteYes, these really are cute blocks. I'm almost done - just one more block to sew. Not hard.
DeleteGreat idea
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll be inspired by the blocks I am stitching.
DeleteYes! Sounds like fun!
ReplyDeleteYes, Barbara. It should be fun. Hope you'll be inspired.
DeleteSewing is always fun (unless it's repairing, which is something I had to do today). Stay tuned for the first reveal next week.
ReplyDeleteI won't be able to follow along this time :-(
ReplyDeleteLove this one. I need 'simple' right now, LOL...
ReplyDeleteSorry but I missed the beginning of this BOW. Love to make it as I live on the coast and the room for my new grandson is beach themed.
