idea for fabric
1 Attachment(s)
I fell in love with this fabric and bought two yards but can't figure out how to use it. Years ago, a quilter said "let the fabric speak to you." Well, I've been waiting a year and haven't heard a peep out of it. It's from Elizabeth Studios, and I looked on the web site to see if there were quilts using this. No luck.
Anyone have a idea? |
Lovely fabric! I might do the chevron pattern that uses rectangle pieces. If you used chevrons of your sea glass, aqua, turquoise and blue it would look like waves.
|
That's a wonderful idea Tartan. It would be pretty in a hexagon too.

I think I would make an Aquarium art quilt with that as the sea glass in the bottom with various fish appliqués, and all the aquarium bling. Or a I spy quilt using the sea glass fabric as the bottom for various beta fish containers with different fish in each one.

Idea for fabric
Why not a spinwheels block. You could use the 2 yards you have for the center. Then the colors from the pebbles of the fabric for a contrast. just an idea. If you need a picture of what I am suggesting. A quilt using this block appears in Quilter's World issue Winter 2021,page 32 by Joy Heimark. Hope this might help you.

Oooh that's pretty fabric! My mind immediately saw a beach quilt, so that's what I googled and found lots of great ideas. A color wash from light to dark or a gradual change from water to beach/sand/glass. Lots of places to go with this fabric.
You'll know what you want to do the moment you see it. Good luck! Donna Mc |

I used it for the back of this quilt. I called it Sea Glass and sewed it together on Cape Cod. It's one of my favorite quilts.

That's gorgeous fabric! Sorry it's been "shy" :D
