These blocks were done in the 6x10 hoop. The finished block size was 6.5"x6.5". The quilt is 26"x26" with the borders.

I was inspired to create a quilt to display the shells that I found on the beach
in Rocky Point Mexico. We have been going there for 10 years now
and it is one of my favorite family traditions.


I wanted to make the quilt blue and tan to represent the water and the sand. Also the ribbons around the shells are curled to mimic the waves. The darker tan blocks are quilted with the plain wave block and the borders also were quilted with a wave motif.
