Sea Glass Quilt

[m***@gmail.com]

This is my latest quilt and just started it. One I call a no brainer yet time consuming. My quilt will be 4 blocks wide and 5 blocks long. When you add in the 2 1/2 inch sashing it makes the quilt wider. I used mostly mottled colors or mixed together colors and I would have named my quilt Stain glass. Call this one modern in style.
Go have a look as they have a queen size there with free pattern.

Let me know if you like the quilt.

I found many very different quilts by googling "Sea Glass Quilt."

The first, which is frome McCalls quickquilts magazine, looks like this:

The other that I found, from a site called craftsy, looks like this:

In fact, the images presented from doing a google search using the term
"Sea Glass Quilt" gave me the imprssion that the name "Sea Glass Quilt"
referred more to using mostly "oceanic" blues and greens rather than a
specific pattern of blocks like a jacobs ladder, or courtroom steps or
whatever.

In other words, both a simple 4-patch or a more complex wedding ring (at
least it looks more complex to me) could be a Sea Glass Quilt if you
choose the "correct" shades of blue and green fabric at the fabric
store.

Hello Brian,
It was the first entry you gave from McCalls Quilts. I made my quilt just a tad smaller with 4 blocks wide and 5 blocks long. It is still a good size quilt because of all the sashing and I used a 5 1/2 inch border on mine.
Thanks Brian for you helping me and us gals.
