Last August I was in charge of choosing blocks for our Do.Good Stitches group and I decided it was time for a big block.
I went with the Star Surround block by Melissa of Happy Quilting. I asked my bee mates to make their blocks using beachy fabrics and they did not disappoint! This quilt turned out beautifully. Don't my friends have the best beachy fabrics?
I pulled from my stash for the backing. This was as beachy as I could get. Hopefully it still works!
I even ended up with a few extra blocks that made their way onto the back.
For the quilting, I went with organic wavy lines. These were super easy and fast. I will definitely be using this method again!
For the binding, I found this blue and green pebble print that I thought was fun. I wanted to practice my machine binding and this time I tried a decorative stitch, which worked really well for this particular quilt.
