Sand 'n Sea
 

For my son, who hasn't seen it yet. 483 half square triangle blocks (double bed size). The label reads "I love you more than every grain of sand on the beach and every drop of water in the sea". Simple serpentine quilting stitch to emulate waves. Thanks for looking.

Very nice, that's a lot of hst. You give me courage to try a few things with my scraps and hst scraps

I like the look of that quilt-

And your label is wonderful!

I love blue and beige together. Love your label .... good job!

Wow, great quilt!

Absolutely Beautiful. Great colors.

Wonderful work. Can almost hear the waves. Your son will cherish his gift from you, and the words of love.

Perfectly set and what a wonderful sentiment you gave with it. Makes you teary eyed.

Beautiful job. I love this. Your wavy quilting design and your label make it extra special.

Great Quilt! Love the blue and sand combinations.

Very nice. It’s one of those Classic quilts that we all love to come across. Your son will love it.

Wow! Beautiful quilt. Very masculine looking. Love the blues and tans and the 'waves'.

Fabulous quilt. Very nice labor of love!

Wonderful quilt. That's a whole lotta HST to put together. Are there 483 unique ones, or do you have some fabrics repeated?

How long were you collecting fabrics for that?? It's beautiful!!

What size HST's did you use for this quilt? It is just beautiful and will be treasured forever, I'm sure!

It's beautiful and perfect colors for a male.

What a lovely quilt for your son and the sentiment is just awesome!!! He will certainly feel the love every time he uses it.

Lovely color choises, terrific points, and a mother's sentiment. Thank you for sharing with us.

Lucky son.

That’s a lot of HST’s! It’s a lovely quilt and the wavy quilting is perfect

Wonderful quilt and wonderful sentiment.

A beautiful quilt and such dedication...all those HSTs!

Beautiful quilt. Love the colors and OMG - your points are perfect!! How do you do that?

What gorgeous fabrics. Ugh, on the # of HSTs but the effect is worth it. Love the label and your choice of simple quilting.

It's a beautiful quilt and one I hope your son will treasure forever. Love the label too.

Absolutely beautiful quilt. Love the saying on the label (it almost made me cry). Your son is a very lucky guy to receive this wonderful gift from his Mom. He will treasure it forever.

Nice quilt for your loved son.

I agree ! Its beautiful you should be proud!

There are doubles in there, mostly what I had in my stash.

I used what I had. And then I ran out and was nowhere near finished! So I purchased a blue/tan fabric line by Pam Buda called Mrs. Miller's Apprentice.

They are 4" finished. In retrospect, I should have probably made it easier on myself an made them a little bigger! Live and learn, I do like the effect, though.

Very handsome quilt! Like your wavy lines quilting, too.

Love it. BrendaK

I made them slightly larger, then trimmed each to size/squared up using the bloc loc ruler. After that, they fit together pretty well.

Well, your quilt should be a commercial for the Bloc Loc Ruler. But I know, that's only half the story. You must be a very exacting and careful quilter. It's a wonderful quilt that your son will always treasure.

Such a great quilt, love the colors

Gorgeous Quilt, your son will cherish it, and I love the saying, very nice

Great quilt. Your choice of fabric is magnificent!
