Beautiful, beautiful piece! Your vision of the foam using lace is brilliant. Is that lighthouse up in Maine? Looks so much like one we visited on the southern tip (just because I wanted to say I've been in Maine). Can't recall the name of it, but it's red and white and sits on a cliff much like that one.

I like her book, she has such good landscape ideas. Hmmm, names. I think anything like: Peace, Serenity, At the beach or even names that are simple, Lighthouse, Ocean or Seaside. Most people are going to chose based on quilt so if in an auction book, a descriptive name may help recall.

Tinker, the book I referenced for designing this quilt is "Accidental Landscapes" by Karen Eckmeier. Karen does not give you a pattern, per se. Rather, she gives you step-by-step instructions on how to design your own landscape, according to her technique. It is a very good book, in that you will have all the "tools" you need to create similar landscape quilts. So much fun ... I could create this type of landscape quilt forever and not get tired of it :-)
