This quilt was my inspiration. I fell in love with it the moment I saw it. A huge thumbs up to this quilting bee and especially to ritapizza for her fantastic finish!
I also happened to have a few layer cakes of Tula Pink's Neptune line hanging around just waiting to be used and I thought this would be the perfect opportunity. I'm sending each participant 7 layer cake pieces along with a 2 1/4" strip WOF.
I spent some time on Flickr looking for quilt blocks reminiscent of the sea and found quite a few. Snail's Trail looks a lot like waves to me. Marinier's Compass, Storm at Sea, Geese in the Pond. I could go on and on.
Just look at this gorgeous Storm at Sea by quiltedoma...

In a nutshell, my "guidelines" are:
1. Be inspired by the sea.
2. Use the Neptune fabric only (if you must add one fabric to make your vision complete, use a solid-ish white)
3. 12 1/2" Pieced blocks- no applique this time
4. One or two blocks, whatever works :)
5. Know right now that I will probably be thrilled with your idea and execution, so relax and have fun!!!!
I really can't wait to see what the group comes up with!
