Beach huts quilt

This started out as a small quilt, which I liked, but I thought the blocks were too big, so I made a load more smaller ones, 80 in all. I put them all together and quilted it... then decided it was too thin, so using all the half square triangles from the roofs, I made another panel. To attach it I placed the wadding next to the main piece and ran a zigzag down it, then I attached the backing, then the front, quilted it and the added the spotty green binding. It has what I call an ice cream blue. It is single bed size.

    1. Ah, thank you. It is nice having some sunshine to enjoy, though it does have the nack of making me feel a bit guilty when I'm inside sewing and it's shining brightly in through the window :o)
