BEACH HOUSE QUILT #1

Last week I bought a few pieces of fabric for a new project.  My little grand girls live at the lake and they are two doors down from their Great Aunt.  Auntie Carol has decided to turn a little shed on her property into a Beach/Guest house for her own grandchildren as well as my two. Well, if I ever needed an excuse to make a quilt, this is it! As a matter of fact - two, as there will be bunk beds.


 Carol has painted a dresser and little desk a bright turquoise so I went in search of fabrics that I thought were sort of 'airy'.  I started with an old layer cake of Hunky Dory and just used the turquoise and pinks. Then I went on the hunt for more.

I have hoarded the birds forever! I thought they would be a perfect addition so I threw them in. My quilt quickly grew

A little white sashing (moda white #98)

I love how everything just seems to work together

The pattern is an old jellyroll pattern called 'Jelly Squares' and instead of every block being the same,  I used a printed 8 1/2" square as an alternate block. I like it a lot. 

my daughter rolled out of bed at 6:30 and was holding this up before she knew what hit her  :)

 Now onto number two!  Doesn't Janie just look like she "needs" a beach house?
