At last spring's Quilters of South Carolina meeting, I was fortunate enough to win some of the beach theme applique challenge blocks. My task now was to incorporate these 6 blocks into a "beachy" wall hanging, pulling all the components together. I sewed small aqua and blue squares to create sashing that emulated water, connected all the blocks and found "sand-like" borders to complete the look. Still needing a final touch, I appliqued shells on the border fabric for added interest. I find this quilt to be fun and fanciful and will enjoy displaying it in my home during the summer months.
