Quite an ingenious use of that. Your use of metallic/holographic thread in the waves is also very effective (can't tell which from the photo). You really put a lot of thought and effort into this. Sorry, no ideas for a name label but I do love your quilt.
The breaking wave was created with a lace trim. I bet I searched JoAnns trims for at least 1/2 hour before I found just the right one! By that I mean, a lace trim without any definite "pattern" in it ... such as repeating hearts, flowers, etc. I inserted the trim in between two of the layered wave strips and secured it when I top stitched the turned edge of the bottom wave. Then I tacked down two sections of this foamy wave with some small hand stitches.
