SEA GLASS SCRAPS AND STRINGS QUILT FINISHED

I am having such fun looking through all these old scraps and strings that make up my now
(FINALLY!) tied, bound and labeled quilt: SEA GLASS.

Here are a few close ups of some fave parts that I was able to sneak in:

A sailboat

an underwater sea flower swaying with the tides,

Lighthouse and snow fence and underneath some imaginary sea anemones....

I used a wide border to underline that this is an ocean quilt....all very old strings of fabrics left over from long ago:

More sailing ships and

celestial sights at sea:


                                                         
I am so happy to have finished this project....you can see more on this on my blog

Hugs to you all, 
Julierose. La Blageuse

    Are you another tied quilt lover?? I used a bamboo/cotton crochet thread to tied it--looks so natural with all those scraps and strings. Thanks for your kind comment Ruth--hugs, Julierose

    Thank you all for all your comments--I cannot seem to reply today individually [sigh--blogger!]--but I appreciate all your kind words. Terri, I did not really "fussy cut" but just kinda slipped the strips back and forth hoping something good would show up! Looking forward to seeing all of your works soon...hugs, Julierose
