Coastal quilt patterns

Did you know, coastal areas account for less than 10% of the total land in the contiguous United States? (NOAA, January 2024.) But almost 40% of the US population lives in those coastal areas! (NOAA, January 2024.) I am one of those lucky 40% that lives in a coastal area, Tampa, Florida to be exact. Because of that, I get to experience and enjoy the beach life everyday. But what about the remaining 60%? How will they get to experience and enjoy the beach life? By checking out Lisa Audit’s…

A good view of the water can be so relaxing. Most of us can't access a calming view of the water, but we can all make one with this quilt. Endless opportunities for variation and giving a personal touch to your favorite view of the water. See all the variations people have made so far using the #coastalquilt on Instagram. Hawaiian islands, rivers, mountains in the distance, and a tropical turquoise sea. This pattern, similar to my other NightSky pattern, is a written quilt pattern with many…

Do you ever wonder how many quilts you can sew from your stash? I ponder this question a lot. My stash isn't huge but it was beginning to feel out of control. It was time to sew a scrappy quilt and use the fabrics at the bottom of my bins - you know the ones that are destined to be forgotten forever. My fabric bins are sorted by colour and my original plan was to grab the blue bin and sew something but on a family drive inspiration struck! Instead I grabbed the blue, teal and aqua bins and…

After I drew it, I printed out the cut sizes the software suggested and happily started cutting and sewing, only to find that my sails were not turning out…
