Ta Da! I finished the Beach Picnic quilt that I made for the June blog hop. Joan from Moose Stash Quilting and Carol from Just Let Me Quilt take turns hosting a year long blog hop. They chose a different theme for each month.
The theme for the June blog hop was For the Birds. The project is simple, and just needs a bird on it.
I made the quilt in June, but I had not finished binding it.
I posted the unfinished project here in June.
Now it is finally finished.
I added a pole with directions to other features on the beach for the picnic goers. I didn't add any words so the beach can have everything the family wants: snorkeling, fishing, boating, boardwalk, shopping, parasailing, sandcastle competitions, art galleries, and of course, bird watching. Whatever they want, it is here on this beach.
It adds a story element to the quilt and explains why the people have abandoned their picnic.
This was a really fun quilt to make and makes me want to make even more beach picnic and seagull quilts.
I posted a video on YouTube showing how I made this quilt.
Here's my finishes chart so far. As you can see, there are a lot more starts than finishes this year, so no new beach quilts for me today. I am hoping to get more progress on unfinished quilts this month.
