No, it wasn't hard at all. It went together real quick.

I actually have it back. I'm going to add another border to make it bigger. I haven't decided on a design though.

Thanks for all the input....I just ordered the Lovers Knot pattern book, and think that is the one I will use, but keep the ideas coming...my decision isn't set in stone yet. ;-)

Storm at Sea is one of my favorite patterns.

I have seen them, they are beautiful, but waaaayy to many pieces. Maybe someday I will be brave enough for all those pieces.

This one kooks easy and would be pretty with beach colors, looks like waves.

Hi Nursie! I, too, am a nurse and have relocated to coastal Florida. I love it here! I currently am working on an easy easy pattern in batiks, "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend." The colors graduate from pale pale pale blue to the turquioise so common in the Gulf to the deep indigos of the deeper ocean waters. The background is the color of the white sands here in the panhandle with bits of blues and greens randomly painted through it. I found this pattern in a book called "Six Halves Make a Whole Lot More" from Quilting By the Bay in Panama City, FL.

Also, I made one of deep sea life framed in blues rather than the varied colors shown on the pattern. It is a very simple block pattern called All About Me. My husband loves it.

That is cool. With the right color placement it could look just like beach sand and sky. Thanks!

Thanks Luray, I will check it out. Would love to see pics of your quilts.
