Sea Glass Wall Hanging

This wall hanging design has been on my mind for a few months, and earlier this week I finally dug around in my solids to find the right colors.  They remind me of the green and blue pieces of smooth sea glass I collected on the beach as a kid. 
I'm excited to offer you a free tutorial for this wall hanging (21" x 31").

As always, I'd love to see your work if you end up giving the tutorial a whirl!
