Because this quilt is going to be larger than the other beach quilts made in this way (
Breakfast on the Beach and
Seaside) I'm building this one up in rows about 40in long. I've completed the reef/underwater row, which when finished will be approximately 13in high. Now I'm working on the next two rows; one with broderie perse appliqued fish and the next plain water, which will probably end up with one or two appliqued features, such as a boat and a whale.

As is always the case, as soon as I see a photograph I find pieces I wish I'd done differently. Like that green seaweedy triangle on the bottom left. And it could have done with a more continuous rocky reef base.
And as is also always the case at the moment, as soon as I see a photo, I long for a new camera. I think any Etsy sales will go straight to the new camera fund!
