Another Scrap Quilt Finished
Do you see it...the sandy shore, the grassy hills, the waves, the islands and all the ships about? Its a lap-sized wedding quilt for a couple that love to scuba dive! He even proposed under water !

I like it! Also I like how you did not over do the machine quilting - some people put so much machine stitching in it that I feel it would be kind of stiff? or does that not happen?

Too much machine quilting can make a quilt stiff. In this case, I thought about a second line of waves but I was afraid I didn't have enough blue thread! :) It still wouldn't have been alot of quilting, just a bit more.
Lovely quilt! I like the simple waves, and the scrappy fabrics.
Beautiful! What a special gift for them! And now I am caught up on your blog again. It was fun to catch up and see what you have been up to lately.
I love scrap quilts... This one is a great gift.
Miri, it is SO pretty! Actually the scrappy squares look a lot like some of the nautical flags.
Very happy cheerful looking scrap quilt. They will be so pleased to receive it as a gift. Nicely done. :)Bea
