Ocean Waves has become one of my favorite quilts that I've made. It's crazy considering that my quilt is constructed with almost 1,500 half-square triangle blocks. I've become an half-square triangle pro. Certainly it took lots of focus to stay on task. And with all the different fabrics there were times I even doubted that they all would come together.
The Ocean Waves quilt pattern is an early American block inspired during colonial times. It is believed to have come from a seaboard town in Maine and symbolic of the blue sea and the movement of the waves. Pioneers took this quilt westward where it eventually reached the Pacific Coast and copied by many quilters from sea to shining sea.
But, alas I think it's a treasure. Well worth all those half-square triangles with a finished size of 94" by 94".
But wait I decided I needed matching pillow shams. Oh my!
Another project checked off my list. Back to my studio, I'm on roll.
