Tidal Pool Finish

       One of the teachers our guild booked BC (Before Covid) was Marlous Carter. She did a class with her pattern, Tidal Pool.  I like my choice of colors much better.
     I had cut a stack of batiks to use and made the quilt with them. The curves are cut free hand and the curve centers are swapped between blocks. She showed us how to sew these curves by first making some practice blocks that I have yet to sew into a table runner.

     In my great closet cleanup caper, I made a backing for this quilt and then loaded it on the longarm. I changed up the center curve motifs in every block and kept the other quilting consistent. I used a Glide blue on top and Glide 60 Mocha in the bobbin- great bobbin thread.

      I decided to gather scraps of batik bindings and make a scrappy binding for this one and I think it worked out perfectly. Yes, another finish! I don't know how long it will be here until I receive another comfort quilt referral.

Congratulations on your quilt finish Linda - the pattern is a great example of free hand cutting and very colourful. I would think that batiks were easier to deal with on the freehand curves than regular quilting cottons or am I incorrect here? I'd be interested to know what you think.

I like your choices of colors and it looks like a fun pattern to do. Having one done and ready is a good plan.
