OMG, for years, I've been wanting to make a good (male) friend a "blue" quilt, but I haven't come across a design I felt would be just right. Until now.

Did you design this? Do you mind if I "copy" it? (Wouldn't be exactly the same, of course, but oh my, it would certainly be inspired by it!)

I might have to make one for myself as well. Concur with others who've said it's like the sea. Reminds me of the Pacific which I miss very very much.

Wow, nice work. I think a fairly narrow, maybe the same width of the sashing, light border first. Then a darker, but not really dark one. That is one fine work of art!

Wow everybody.....Thank you soooo much for your compliments, words of inspiration, and suggestions. I did make it for a male friend whose fav color is blue and he loves the water/fishing and the quiet of the night, so in addition to the batiks, there is fabric that looks like water and some with stars. I have four pieced fish that I was thinking of using as corner blocks in the border. This is based on a pattern from the book Batik Beauties by Laurie Shifrin. The book suggested different layouts, but I came up with this one. I tend to like symmetry and flow. I will keep working on this and will be sure to post the final outcome!! I LOVE this board....I'm on here everyday and am just so inspired by and appreciate you all!!!
