Sunburnt Quilts

Quilts, Patchwork & Embroidery

Sea Creatures.

Posted on | July 11, 2025 | 4 Comments

Sue Spargo put together a fabric bundle of sea creatures, coral and kelp in black, white and a tiny touch of blue. I bought a bundle with the plan to make a very simple quilt with the addition of some more blue.

I have given up trying to avoid the wind when taking photos. Yes, it makes the quilt look like the sides are astray, but I know they are fine.

I have combined a few design ideas in the quilt with alternating light and dark diagonal lines, as well as a double diamond pattern using the blue.

Lots of fun with the fabrics.

I also found a fun piece for the backing.

The binding is another piece with black and white.

I think there will be times that I put the quilt on the bed reverse side just to enjoy that design, too.

We have enjoyed a lovely week with grandchildren staying here. Now I am planning to head to a sewing day with friends over the weekend. I hope you have some enjoyable plans, too.

Cheers, Karen

    That’s a “cool” quilt, the colours go so well together. And that backing fabric is gorgeous.
