How about a coconut tree and tropical flowers :-)
Hey there!
I should have noted my new bedroom is "beachy" the walls are Seaside Pleasure blue and I hope to use the Caribbean as my palette. Charismah the idea you have would have been perfect for my former bedroom. I had sweetpea flower and morning glories and garland :thumbup: Now that I have filled you in, what are your thoughts? I also love sea thrtles and whales. LOVE whales!!! OH what to do :?

I would say applique is your most affordable and quickest option. But I would applique something like a birdhouse..with vines and flowers...with birds, bees and butterflies floating around..I would make it a really nice background for the garden scene.

It's a beautiful quilt...what a shame it was abused! Be sure to show us the finished product. I love the idea of the sail boat and if you can pull off Charisma's idea, it will be a fabulous quilt. Take your time and most of all enjoy it.

to give depth you could always shadow applique the tropical leaves/flowers or do them in a dark gray or black
