I love it. I really think the blue is perfect in it.

It sure looks like water moving...i would leave it the way it is. I love it. It looks like a prize winner :D
|
I love your quilt. The pattern fascinates me--I love the way you see curves even though it's all straight llines!

Your Ocean Waves quilt is fantastic! What a fun thing to do at a retreat. I don't yet know how to paper piece. Was it hard to do? I think the blue gives the quilt a cool feeling and looks good.

It was very hard for me to do. I hate sewing upside down as you do with pp. I had only looked at the finished pattern when I ordered the kit and didn't realize it was pp. I knew that if I didn't do it at the retreat it would just sit in my sewing room and never get done. My friends at the retreat cheered me on until I got it done. Took me the whole retreat to finish it. There are 8 of us that go. But now that it is done I really like it, wouildn't do another pp though I don't thnk. I prefer foundation instead, you can see what you are doing. Soon as I figure a different block for those blue corners, I will put it together. |

Sharon That is the name I know it as, try about.com, or, quilterscache.com and see if they don't bring it up. Connecting threads must have sold out, sorry. |
I love this one. I have always loved this pattern and will do one someday! Thanks for the inspiration!

It looks like it could be Storm at Sea - or some variation.

Pat, I love the blue! I think it gives the quilt "motion" just like waves. Beautiful! But if you really don't like it, I'll be happy to take it off your hands! :D :D
