Ocean One Block Wonder

About 3 years ago, I bought panels of this print, planning to make a one block wonder.


I got the triangles cut out and sewn together, but I couldn't arrange them in a way I liked, so I put it away.  Two weeks ago, I pulled it  out and figured out how to arrange them.  Then I made myself work on it for an hour a day until the top was done.


This quilt is 63" x 71".



This quilt doesn't really appeal to me, but my husband likes it.  He likes anything blue!  I have an extra panel to put on the back of the quilt, but I will need to buy more fabric for the rest of the backing.

That looks great! I didn't think the panel had a lot of value contrast, but the end result shows that my eye was tricked by the gradation. There is plenty of light/dark contrast.

The colors are beautiful... so soft and soothing. I like how you moved the darker blocks around the quilt, too. Very pretty.

Great job on the new quilt and glad your husband like it. I bet it feels good to use the fabric you bought years ago!

I'm surprised how it turned it too. It is soothing and I like it. The contrast of the green border works nicely.

WOW -- this is spectacular! I also love blue, and love how the pattern swirls around.
