oh yeah I tried the curved seam. WHAT A JOKE! ok I need a lesson in person not a guess how its done. I am rarely good at trying new things like that without help. I will applique more of a curve on the sand I think just not sure how yet lol. gotta get those awful chairs sewn onto it first. its just supposed to be an interpretation but sure wish I had that book BEFORE I got started lol. hoping crossing fingers applique will do the trick .. now to learn how to applique grin..

these are really cute, am looking forward to seeing them as part of the whole quilt.

Elisabrat

ok I scared you all silent! whats with that!!!! I mean its ok to critique with your own opinion. I need to know how much more sand to do.. 1/3 1/2 or is it a full 12" block? quick! ideas!

I don't see why you need more sand.

I think you could add the idea of more "curves" w quilting and thread color choice. As well as the sun rise color reflections in your water.

Elisabrat - I think you have enough sand and now need to gussy it up with the beach stuff - just my opinion. You're doing great. I'm FMQing mine and it is going slow also. A lot to do and I am using invisible thread on some of it and I don't like working with that stuff - it is called invisible for a reason but it's coming along. We have some dreary rainy days and I just had my first cataract surgery; although, that doesn't really slow me down much. I think I will make good progress this week. Hang in there.

Linda - the sizes and placement of appliques will dictate on how large your beach should be. I can't wait to see your chairs. I have to add grass to my beach - just free motion - and that is scaring me, not ready for applique!
