Sally Seahorse

Sally Seahorse and her twinsie are swimming through my post today. The last of the blocks for the Awesome Ocean SAL hosted by Kathleen McMusing, these little blocks have multiple pieces but finish up so cute!

I have been using my batik scraps for my Awesome Ocean blocks. It’s been fun, and a bit challenging, to find fabrics that work together. Batiks usually blend pretty well, but the challenge with these blocks was to find fin fabric that stood out a bit from the body.

Coming up next is constructing the quilt top – it goes together well if you are following the pattern layout. Be sure to square your blocks, if you haven’t done so already!

I am very excited to show you my finished quilt, and where this little quilt traveled for a photo shoot. Okay, most of you know we took a road trip to Florida to visit our daughter. We had a wonderful time with her while she took us to some of her favorite places. Here’s a little peek of the site for the photo shoot.

Pretty little view, isn’t it? Isn’t the color of that water beautiful? We had a good time snapping photos, and I hope you enjoy seeing my little quilt in the wild. (A little hint – these little blocks felt right at home here.)

I hope you are following along with the Awesome Ocean SAL, and are getting your Sally Seahorse blocks finished. Don’t forget to label those pieces, and cutting them out beforehand is helpful too. And don’t forget to link up with Kathleen so we can all see your blocks!

Until then, stay home and stay healthy. I hope you are enjoying many hours of happy creativity in your quilting room! I’ve missed sewing, so I am ready to get some creativity flowing!
