Summer Quilts

Hello dear readers.......what a sunny summery time we've been having........
....we took the newest favourite four patch quilt made in nautical colours to the seaside for a photoshoot.....
.....it was a gloriously sunny bright blue sky day......and the boats were very inspiring with all the red white and blue.....
.........the pattern for this little quilt is in my etsy shop, link in sidebar........
.........after so much rain and cold recently it was very uplifting to be down beside the sea in such perfect summery weather.......below is a picture of the boatyard......
.......and then home again....a nice cup of tea in a sailing mug.......and a peek at the boats quilt backing fabric which is from lewis and irene....... 
...........a light and summery quilt stack on the little chair at the weekend......
...........and snipping the first roses to scent the house........
............after a very long time of it being a work in progress i sewed the very last english paper pieced hexagon on to this quilt top this week......
............here it is hanging in the garden......just need to add some plain white borders to it and then it can be longarm machine quilted......
............i always like to have some hexie epp on the go..........so now this is finished i'll be starting another one ;) ....
..........thank you for dropping by to see me here lovely blog friends.....and thank you for the kind comments you leave me....it's always so nice to hear from you and to hear what you've been doing too....take care lovelies, enjoy a happy sunny week....back soon xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi Helen, I just love your blue and white hexi quilt top! Like you, I have to keep at least one hexi project going. They're so much fun. Thank you for sharing your eye candy with us. :-)

Aren't boat yards so interesting ... my HB could spend hours in there with his camera!!
The gardens are just brilliant now producing new beauties every day!
Enjoy the rest of your weekend lovely,

Love the nautical theme quilt especially with the summery weather we are currently having and the hexagon quilt is just fab.
Have not visited for a while so am going to have a leisurely stroll back through your last blogs. Take care x

Beautiful quilts. The sailboat masts, I wonder what kind of quilt pattern would be best for that theme.
