Beach Quilt Finished!

My Beach Quilt is finished!  I have been working on this all winter.  I picked up the fabrics here and there last fall. I knew I wanted a big quilt to toss on the ground for picnics, ballgames, 4th of July and yes the Beach!

It is approximately 108 inches by 122 inches.  

This baby is huge and heavy!

So without further ado...

My Beach Quilt

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful week!

A Beach Quilt

A Beach Quilt, well that is what I am calling this quilt. Nope, we do not live near a beach!  

This quilt will be used outside.  

I see it under a tree with the grandchildren, a pile of books, and snacks.

I see it wrapped around us when we are outside watching a sporting event.

I see it on the grass to watch the 4th of July Fireworks.

I see it always in the car ready for anything!

I have been collecting fabrics for this quilt for about a year.

One yard of each of the 15 prints. You know one print had to be pink!

I cut them into 6.5 inch squares. (lazy, the width of my ruler)!

Total squares, Hmm, 450!

Yikes!!

Sooo, I am making two of these quilts.

Here is the layout for the blocks.  

I have changed the layout since this picture was taken, that was a mistake, but, oh well!

I like to sew in sections, so I am making them until I think the quilts are large enough.

One for everywhere, and one for the beach?  A girl can dream, right?

Eww, there was a possum in our backyard eating the remains of our snowman!  

Have a wonderful weekend. I hope you do something you love.
