Tonight I hope to finish putting together the quilt top and [...]

The finished quilt will be about 48″x60″ [...]

Today I worked some more on outlining the seaweed. I finished the mottled one on the right and the green in the middle. The orange fan shape in the center is partially complete. In some of the shots, you can see where I had to stop partway through sewing. This is because I have to [...]

Here it is – the last of the quilting for this project. I am pleased with how it came out and now all that is left is to finish sewing the binding. What was really neat is that the fabric for the binding is some teal fabric I had on a bolt in the sewing [...]
