Quilting the Home by the Sea Quilt

 Here is a pic of the top row of the Home by the Sea quilt, hot off the machine.  I used a very thin, cream colored thread for the quilting, and did an allover loopy meander, one of my favorite go-to quilting designs.

 Here are a few close-ups of the blocks.  This is the Ship block.  I used Warm and Natural Batting by the Warm Company for this quilt - it smells so good.

 The Lighthouse block.

 One of six Little House blocks.

 The Pine Tree block.

The Star block.

I should have a pic of the finished quilt soon, and the pattern will be available in the Curlicue Creations shop in September.

Have a super day!

Home by the Sea Quilt Top

The Home by the Sea quilt top is finished!  Here's how it went together:

 I began by sewing a Navy Blue 1" sashing to the right sides of my blocks.

~Star Blocks~

 ~Ship and House Blocks~

 Many of the blocks in various stages, being sewn together with the sashing.

 Once the blocks and sashing were sewn together, I made alternate rows of sashing with red cornerstones.

 The sashing/cornerstone rows were sewn between the block rows.

 I added a narrow Navy Blue border around all the blocks.

The top is finished with a wider, Light Blue border.  I used the same fabric as the block backgrounds for the outer border.

Have a super day!
