By the sea, by the sea.....


Quilt Along "By the Sea"... block two - DONE - just in time to hopefully start on the new block that's to be revealed tomorrow.
Nope, didn't like this ....made a quick run to the LQS and bought (3)1/4 yard cuts of what I'd hope would be better choices than what I found here at home.


Ah, yes, that's much better.  I'm especially happy that I remembered that I had some water print fabric in my stash somewhere - and was able to locate it.  I think it really works!



Ok, all stitched down... the background was cut 14" x 14" this time... and left room for trimming down.  I didn't do that for the first block - I cut it at 13" x 13" which was what was recommended.. well, it shrank a bit somehow - I probably didn't cut as straight as I thought I was doing... it happens
:( ; I'll just have to adjust when it comes time to put the four blocks together.
,

And that's it for me today.... just tickled that I got this done.

take care...
ttyl....
Stay Safe........

What to work on next

 I finished the two gift quilts - and both have been delivered to a parent of the little girl recipient. I have the requested photo from one...
