Ebb Tide

My recent finish is called Ebb Tide, the pattern is by Villa Rosa Designs. I won the print fabrics from Shabby Fabric's last year and recently found the perfect Kona solid to go with it-Blue Jay. The prints are Paradiso in Lagoon Blue by Kate Spain.  This is a simple pattern, would be great for a new quilter, or someone just wanting a quick finish!  It measures in at 46x60.

Hobbs 80/20 batting, Glide thread in a blue on top and So fine in bobbin. I love how the wishbone quilting on the solid blue beams out at you. The diagonal quilting lines in the prints don't show real well but I had fun deciding which direction they should go.   I found the perfect wide backing for it at JoAnn's.

I have listed this quilt in my Etsy shop which I just started up again. I hope to get a few more things listed later this week.

Editing yet again-I don't know where my head is as I forgot to say this is my OMG for January finish also!  So I will be linking there when it becomes live at the end of the month.



I had a really hard time capturing the true color of the blue. I think the top two pictures are the best.

 Linking with FreeMotion by the River, Let's Bee Social and Fabric Tuesday.
Edited to say...And since I broke my camera and can't post anything else until I get my new one I will join in on Thursday Needle and Thread too.

    Nice finish. Like how you quilted 1/4 inch from seam in the sashing and then did wishbone quilting. I have just used wishbone design in a small quilt but that extra seam makes it pop more rather than just ditch stitching.

    That is gorgeous! I love the wish bone quilting, I wished I lived close to you so you could show me how to do that. Beautiful quilt. I'm with you on the blues, have the same trouble with purples. Throw in some snow to the mix and it just doesn't work for me.

    So pretty. I may not be a new quilter, but I do love fast finishes. Good luck with your shop.

    Well I love any blue, and this quilt with its variety of them, is beautiful Vicki! I like how you wrote that the wishbone quilting "beams out at you". It truly does! Perfect wide back, too--at JoAnn's--who knew?!--will check that out!
