Bloggers Quilt Festival - 2

It is that time of year again, Blogger's Quilt Festival over at Amy's Creative Side.  I love being able to see so many amazing quilts linked up in one place.

For my second quilt I am entering Aunt Carol's Blue Wave Quilt.  I am entering it in the Quilt Photographer category   I love all the photos I took of it at the beach in January.

This quilt was made for my Godmother, Aunt Carol, as a Christmas/birthday gift.  She loves the color blue and the beach, I mean she is a Jersey Girl ;)

I used the french braid pattern to give the quilt movement.  To keep with the beachy feel of the quilt, I free motioned waves on each strip on the quilt

Blue Wave Quilt is backed in an almost solid blue with a strip of sandy footprint fabric running off-center.

These photos were all taken at Island Beach State Park in Ocean County, NJ the week it first reopened after the storm.  Although it was cold and windy and I almost lost the quilt to the wind at one point it was a perfect day to go to the beach because I missed it.

There were some great shells and the waves were amazing that day, too.

Aunt Carol's Blue Wave Quilt measures 44" x 58"
I free motioned it on my little machine at home using Coats and Clark machine quilting thread.
