Beach Glass or Beach Grass Quilt Top?

The pattern for this quilt top is Cheryl Arkison’s “Beach Grass” from her book, A Month of Sundays. This is my rendition. I was thinking more about the colors of beach glass. But also about the colors of water, beach grass, sand dunes and sky.

The center stripes can be straight or a bit wonky. I cut some a deliberately a bit wonky, but mostly I just trimmed the blocks to size, not thinking about it too much. That’s the great thing about many of Cheryl’s quilts…perfection is not required, or even desired! I think that’s one of the reasons I really enjoy making her projects.

I’ve got some great ocean floor fabric coming for the backing! Can’t wait to show you the completed quilt. But camp is next week, so it’ll be a while!
