This is the first drawn out idea for my challenge quilt.
It will obviously look very different in fabric. My assigned three colors are apricot, orange, cerulean blue, and my neutral color of white.
Let me paint you a picture through patterns.
This is a pattern that I have filed in the want to do pile. This will be the back ground of the whole quilt. My blue color will be the ocean water, my orange color will be my sandy beach, and my apricot will be my sky color.
Once I have enough of this pattern together it will turn on its corner to become the rolling waves of water.
All the following sampler blocks will be appliqued on.
I'm trying to decide what sampler block to make my sun out of.
This is the one that is in my drawing. I choose this one to change up the shapes of my sampler blocks.
I also like the following for a sun.
The center star block is a version of my kite.
This block comes from the April in Paris quilt. It is my beach umbrella.
My beach towel under my umbrella is a creation of my own. It is a single blue crayon beach towel and is my tie into the challenge.
The blue piece at the top right corner is a hot air balloon. The outside border of the quilt is made of pinwheel blocks of the three crayon colors.
