I have to share with a giggle, my sand fabric is actually a recycled sheet. The pattern on the sheet is of randomly placed large wavey leaves. I can't think of the name of it, but one sees it often in decorating and I think it is supposed to be good luck.
The color was perfect and I just knew when I cut it into the strips it would look like sand. It was indeed perfect in this quilt!

What a clever idea, I'm sure it will be put to good use.

Pretty, I like how the sand color rails let the others stand out. But, it is still a calm quilt. Very nice.

THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!! I have been puzzling over a quilt to make for a very special friend (we've known eachother for 56 years) who just bought a house near the beach in SC. I wanted something pretty, but fairly straight forward - as i expect they will use it on the beach. Your idea is GREAT !!....and I hope you will be flattered when i say that i plan to steal it !!
