Sea Glass
 

I am so excited to have this top done and ready to go to the LAQ. My DH and I spend time in Provincetown in the fall every year and I usually proceed our time there with a weekend in NYC with some former work colleagues. He meets me in the city and we drive out to Ptown. This year I brought no quilting with me and instead decided I would start a whole new project and I would buy a pattern and fabric at City Quilter to bring to the Cape.

This pattern grabbed me and I decided to do it in the colors of sea glass. I have a favorite necklace that I bought in Ptown made of Sea Glass. I found the perfect backing/binding fabric. This one is for DH and me to keep to remind of the wonderful times in Ptown.

Oh, I LOVE the backing fabric, just made for this quilt!! So attractive! :)

Love your quilt pattern. Love the backing. Everything about it. Your backing looks like droplets of water color on a canvas. beautiful!!

You must post the finished project!

Love that! Looks great!

Wonderful quilt and colors! I'm with Tessagain - can't wait to see finish product.

That is just beautiful and what a terrific remembrance! Can you share what is on the selvage of the backing fabric? i.e. designer, manufacturer, etc. THANKS!


P.S. I'd always rather be at the lake, too:)

I love the quilt and the colors.

Wonderful quilt and love the backing. I have not been that far east and I have some sea glass earrings from my Mother when she was on a trip. Show us when finished quilting.

That backing blends so well with the top. Enjoy this quilt for many years to come.

Elizabeth's studio Under the sea sea glass multi:available at fabric.com... I am not affiliayed with that site, just did a quick search.
Love the quilt!

Oh my, this is going to be beautiful. I love the front and the backing fabric is perfect. Can't wait to see it when you are all done.

Wonderful! Love that graphic design! The backing reminds me of pieces of tumbled glass - so appropriate for this quilt.

very nice!!!!

beautiful quilt, and I love the backing. looks like it was made for it.

Awesome pattern and the backing fabric is perfect.
peace

great colors

Really like this pattern too! Your fabric choices works great for it!

Very pretty quilt! It really does look like sea glass. Do you know the pattern name please? I love the modern look and it leaves a lot of negative space for quilting.

A beautiful pattern and colors.

very nice modern quilt.

Both sides are very nice.

So simple and beautiful!!! As others, I can hardly wait to see it after it is quilted.

Very nice top and back.

What a great way to remember a trip and I loved your fabric choices!!!

Love the design and the backing is gorgeous.

Beautiful! I never think of large areas of negative space. But now I will. Thanks for posting. This will be stunning when done.

I love your colors. Was that done with half square triangles?

Looks great so far! Very pretty backing fabric too. :)

Very pretty, I like your colors. I made this in Christmas fabrics.

Beautiful quilt and the backing fabric is gorgeous!!

...just tons and tons of HSTs? Great stash smasher........

That "sea glass" top gives me an idea....a few orphan blocks on a field of solid.......another UFO done!

all of that and more... wonderful

Love your quilt and color , Backing is just right .

It's beautiful--great job!

I'm with all of the above -- wonderful colors and I would have a hard time deciding which side I like better. Can you share the name of the pattern (as in sandyfullmer's request). Perfect pattern, perfect fabric. Can't wait to see it finished.

OOOHHHH!!! :) Beautiful - the colors are PERFECT and I love the backing fabric! :)
