Sea Glass: A Friday Finish

My obsession with strips continues, and a couple weeks ago I posted about this strippy quilt I was working on. Now it's quilted and finished. 

I quilted it with vertical wavy lines, dense in the sashing columns for texture but loose in the colored strips so the quilt wouldn't be too stiff. 

This little quilt - 39" x 48" - is destined for Operation Shower. 

A reader commented that the colors look like sea glass, so that's what I've named this quilt. You just can't beat a color palette of blues, aquas, teals and greens. The sashing fabric is a whitish Grunge with splotches of the palest green in it, the perfect use for that fabric which has been in my stash awaiting a purpose for awhile.

    Those colors! Sea Glass is the perfect name. What a fun way to showcase prints and color in the design!

    Great suggestion and name for the quilt; even the quilted wavy lines play well with the theme!

    What a fast finish, Jan. LOVE it! Great colors and a non-fussy gender neutral design.

    Even after all these years of quilting I still get amazed and how a simple pattern can turn into such a beautiful quilt!

    Looking good! I've got coin strips waiting to be finished, they are quite fun to stitch.

    So, so pretty! I love the texture that simple wavy line quilting gives it. Just like the lines in the sand as the waves wash across the pretty sea glass :)

    Sea glass is the perfect name! I know the Grunge you're talking about...might have to get some now. The quilting you did is a lovely complement to the strips.

    Your Sea Glass quilt is a vision in pretty colours. All those happy strips of fabric dance beautifully together. The white bordering these strips is the perfect choice.

    I love everything in your quilt, the pattern, the fabrics, the color palette, the
    quilting, and the name ;) It's great to use a fabric that was waiting for a long time for the perfect project too.
