KID QUILT #11 - SAND IN MY SHOES BY REBECCA LATHAM

 

For this quilt, I used a collection of beachy prints, called "Sand in My Shoes" from Keepsake Quilting. There were 42 strips, with three of each of fourteen different fabrics. Each strip measured 2.5" x 42".

 

The blocks are made with 10.5" x 2.5" pieces, with five pieces in each block. 

 

The backing is a bright, mottled purple flannel and was purchased from JoAnn Fabrics and Crafts Store.  I also bought the fabric for the border and binding there. 

 

The finished size of the quilt is 53" x 72.5".

 

 

 

  

 

 

I used Warm and White batting, also purchased from JoAnn. The digital quilting design is called "Sea Foam" and I purchased it from Urban Elementz, where I get most of my designs. The thread I used was YLI Pastels cotton.
