Yesterday I started to work on the fabrics that my son brought me, shown in my last post.

I am making this quilt for my sister's 60th birthday. As she will use it in her house near the sea, I chose various tunes of blue and beige recalling the beach, and I named it Sea and Sand.

I will need 64 blocks, and so far I finished 16.

The final size of this lap quilt will be 66" x 66".

For the beginners who may be interested, I had posted the step by step Log Cabin tutorial HERE.

Sashiko Bag Hand quilted

Christine M., a friend and member of our

quilting group kindly offered me a piece of 

indigo fabric brought from Japan.

I embroided it with Sashiko stitches.

For the border and the inside, 

I added a piece of fabric I had in my stash.
