so, 2 waves are done so far. there is no deadline on this project. i just wanted to see how it was going to turn out so i whipped up these. it also gives me a better idea of how many triangles i will need. it's quite possible this will use up a significant portion of my solids stash but it remains to be seen. these are fairly large compared to a lot of ocean waves i've seen but no matter. it was a pattern on my wish list and my quilts are made with hand quilting in mind. the background is charcoal kona solid, a world of difference from black and much easier on the eyes. **** an important birthday in our family yesterday, my mother's great-aunt turned 99!
Looks great, I bet it's even more stunning in person, the photos never really show the true beauty.......I've never made a quilt using solids, this may have to go on my quilting "bucket list".
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your mother's great aunt, that's a wonderful milestone!
I think your Ocean Waves is going to be eye-popping in solids with a charcoal background!
ReplyDeleteWhat a milestone birthday!!
