We are less than 2 hours from the beach and haven't been there in a couple of years! Time to plan a trip. I'm not sure I'd put a quilt as pretty as yours down on our beaches because there's a chance of it picking up tar, but it's an inspiration to see, in any case. Thanks for sharing the picture.
Here's a hint for anyone who hasn't experience beach tar: Take baby oil. It does a great job of removing it from your feet.
