Beach Retreat Quilt
Posted By drsao on March 25, 2008
Susan asked me to test this pattern for a quilt that she just designed – and I happily said YES!
So Friday, March 21, I went home from the QUILTER’S CORNER (Midlothian, VA) with the instructions for making this BEACH RETREAT QUILT.
It is made from 15 different 1/2 yard fabrics from the SUNSHINE line by April Cornell for MODA,
The colors are fantastic. Really, there is something soothing to the soul about blues and yellows. These are happy fabrics……you know, the kind that just MAKE YOU SMILE. I love the flowers, the dancing dots and the birds ….. ok – even the butterflies (although everyone who knows me is aware of the fact that I am not big on bugs!!!)
So I had the fabric and the pattern – and away I went on this quilt adventure!
The quilt was easy and fun to make! I did have to take time out to celebrate EASTER – but basically I was able to make this in three days.
I like to take my time and play with the blocks, touch them, rearrange them, etc.
Here it is – the top of the Beach Retreat Quilt- isn’t that a great name for a quilt?!! I REALLY LOVE it.
Doesn’t this just make you want to grab this quilt, and a good book and head to the beach? It is 61 x 72 unfinished – the perfect lap quilt!
If you are looking for a happy quilt for spring – it will be available in a kit from the QUILTER’S CORNER soon – and they probably would even take early pre-orders! I think my family members are all going to want this one!
