The binding is Kona Grass, and the backing is a dot from DS Quilts. I free motion quilted the top with curly waves in the sea and puffy clouds and swirly winds in the sky.

Deep Blue Sea, Baby Quilt
Well, as I promised, here is the baby quilt version of Sailing Weather, my paper boat mini, in a much more saturated color palette. It has a different feel right? I had tons of fun making this.
For the paper boat, I used the newsprint from Annie's Farmstand. I enlarged the paper template I created to fit the scale of the quilt.
For the sun, I used the six minute circle technique, which is a way to do reverse applique by machine. I pieced the sun with little 1 inch squares.
The quilt is approximately 36 x 42.

Wow, it is such a gorgeous design. That pieced sun was so worth the time! Did you do it because of the scraps or have the idea first? I'm always curious about those processes. Not surprised that it's already sold!
