Shoreline
Besides working on circle quilts I also have my aerial view quilts for Voyage. This is the latest one which I completed yesterday. I called it 'Shoreline'.
For the sand I used a piece of rust dyed fabric, for the water different hand dyed blues. Small strips of scrim are stitched down with seed beads and to complete it I added a number of buttons on it. Some time ago I had bought a set of beads in the shape of shells and starfish. They came with a shank, so I had to cut that off and than glued them down onto the quilt with E6000.

I love this. Beautiful.
Hi, Wil. Lovely piece--the quilting adds interesting movement and one can't beat the complements of blue and orange.
best, nadia
I love the froth on the waves- great texture.
I love everything about this. The blue waves are masterfully pieced and shaded beautifully. The addition of the buttons and scrim add a lot to the composition. A wonderful, wonderful piece.

Wil, this is gorgeous! Would you mind if i pinned it on pinterst with proper credit and a lnk to your blog of course!
You already know from FB that I love this piece, Wil! Clever idea to remove the button shanks and glue the tops. How does one do that without breaking the button altogether?
This is gorgeous!! And who could resist the little shells and starfish buttons!! Way cool!!
You got the balance just right on this. Lovely piece!
