I took drafting and the bottom rail on the right is off but I wouldn't worry about it. I think you did an awesome job bring the picture into the quilting world.

If you have any fabric, I would make the palm tree from a fabric just a little darker, to make it stand away from the rail.

It isn't a palm tree. It is the corner post of the cabana.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions.

Yep. The ocean & sky are incredible. I've bookmarked this post for the next time I do a seascape because I really like how you pieced them. Beautifully represents the colors and movement!
