Hi guys! I am entered in a summer themed mug rug swap... the designs should be inspired by the sun or beach. So, I decided to make a little beach scene. I started planning it out last night... this is my first ever all-by-myself-design though.

This is what I have got so far... hopefully my swap partner isn't seeing this! Anyhow.. my question is... any advice on layering the sky, water, and sand? I wasn't sure if I should cut away some of the water behind the sand in order to avoid having so many layers.

And while I have you... I still haven't decided on turned edge or raw... or how I want to stitch it down. So if you want to weigh in on that feel free!
