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.
Here are some photos of the quilt in progress.
Here is a short video of the quilt being digitally quilted with my Tin Lizzie
Ansley 26 quilting machine and Butler Perfect Stitch computerized system. Maximize the
