Category: Quilting

Type of item: Home Decor

Materials

Whatever was cheap at Spotlight. This was my first ever quilt. I had an idea for my sons bedroom, so I just got some material and kept sewing until I liked the end result.

What was your inspiration?

The beach huts in Brighton Victoria Australia

What are you most proud of?

I like the quilting on the sand as I think it really does look like sand at the beach.
I wanted the blue to look like waves which I think worked.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Have a better plan to start with so you don't buy and waste so much material

Very creative.my sons room is decorated in beach and surf boards and this would look great. My list of "someday quilts" is getting longer and longer. The quilting effect on the sand is perfect and the VW bus is so realistic!
