I absolutely love this fabric line. The name and feel of the fabric gave me such strong recollections of going to Brighton Beach when we were kids. I made a quilt that I found on a blog, I believe it was Hyacinth Quilts. It goes by the name of Garden Fence; if you google that, you're sure to find a link to the instructions. I've also found other beautiful quilts made from Salt Air on google images; can't post those here because of copyright laws. My recommendation is to use these fabrics with white (but an off-white, not a bright white).
