Finished my Ocean waves top!
hi!
I just finished my Ocean Waves quiltop. It was a lot of work but so worth it! I couldn't wait to put a picture online and share it with you... I didn't think it would become this large, but it did: 70x 80 inches
I made it using Triangles on a Roll, which worked great for me. I used my stash and scraps to get a nice mix of colours together with muslin.
I was planning on doing a pinwheel border but when I started with it, I thought it would look a bit to messy, but I still had a lott of triangles left. So my Dear Husband started playing with the triangles last night and came up with this design. The outer border is 6 inch right now, but will be cut down to about 4 inches, but I liked to have a bit of a margin for attaching the hoop on when I am hand quilting.
So, please let me know what you think!

Beautiful! I just love the airiness of the whites and the colors! You should congratulate your husband on such a great border design!
It's so fun to see an Ocean Wave in colors other than *blue*. What size are your finished half square triangles?
What a beautiful quilt, great job!
Just lovely and the border finishes the quilt! Isn't it great to have your husband help out ... now if only he would learn to quilt!

Beautiful quilt! So great that your husband likes to help you out - he has a true talent because the border is really a perfect fit for the quilt! Great job! It is a perfect pattern for using lots of little scraps and pulling them all together to make something stunning.
