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!

    You picked such a nice range of colors for your wall hanging! I keep wanting to buy solids just to have in the house, but I get overwhelmed by all the color choices. :D

    I've just come over from Flickr, where I saw your beautiful quilt! I love collecting sea glass- I've been planning to make a mosaic bird bath with it for years and years. This quilt woiuld be lovely for my mum's beach house, but my Bug might claim it- blue and green are his favourite colours!

    I love the idea of looking for sea glass on the beach. My sister is a beach gal and I hope to take a beach trip with her sometime.

    This quilt would make a wonderful wall hanging for her home. We both love those colors. You have a great eye for color, Alex!
