Ocean Waves Quilt: DONE!


Here is my finished Ocean Waves Quilt!  I'm in love with it!  It is difficult to capture how delicate the colors are in a photograph.  I used batiks from the Ocean Waves Fat Quarter Collection I got from Fat Quarter Shop.  Hop over and have a look at the entire collection!


I used a darning foot on my machine and did a meandering quilting design.  I've never done this on such a large scale before.  I had to practice a bit first.  I used invisible thread on my quilt, but I used white on my practice pieces.



I was intimidated at first, but once I got in a "groove" I felt great.  I think it turned out pretty nice and will definitely be meandering my way through my next quilts!  


  


I cannot wait to finish redecorating my bedroom!  I will be hanging this quilt on the wall opposite my bed.  It's going to look awesome!

I hope you all have had a fantastic weekend and wish you all a terrific week!

    I hope you are cooling off now. Today is the first day of relief from super high 90s and low 100s. It is only 82 degrees today.

  2. Gorgeous! I love your color choices but I especially love the pattern itself. One of these days I may have to start quilting too - although, for now, I'll leave that to Cassandra. :) - Alex
