Many years ago, I actually had the good fortune to sail in Caribbean waters and yes, the sky, and water really look like this. Up until then, I thought the travel brochures were just color enhanced.
I am a quilter - a retired widow living in the Nebraska Panhandle. I am surrounded by beautiful semi-arid ranch country, and treeless hills and fields under incredibly wide blue skies, located far from the upheaval found often in large towns or cities. I am blessed to have delicious time to quilt and to appreciate my peaceful moments in an unpeaceful world.

Caribbean Strings
I need 120 (10 x 12) - no border, but might come up with a border-like color placement. It's astonishing how much fabric a person can have in just a few colorways. If remembering correctly I purchased 2 FQs to add to the mix. The plan is to make 2 halves, quilt them, then put them together. It's too unwieldy to handle MQ'ing 86" x over 100". Blocks go fast - this is 2-3 days of sewing, doing just 4 at a time, so I don't sit too long in one position. These are on foundation paper. I tried various settings, but liked this the best. I'll fiddle with individual block setting, especially the center 4.
"Caribbean Strings" kinda sounds like evening music, fresh breezes, ocean waves. hmmmm ...I like it.
