The Marina Quilt Sails Away

This is so silly of me, but some of my quilts are hard to see go off Etsy. They are quilts that were fun to make, didn't give me any hassles with obstinate corners, have a great theme and I love the name and description. The Marina quilt fits all those. I make these to sell, but I also love that they are for sale, like they are making the others look better.

To Do List: Slap Self! This is a business, not a dog pound. But I really must share the description I had for the Marina Quilt, it was my all-time favorite.

Marina, the Quilt with a Porpoise

Love fish but hate to cook? Are you trolling for a cute nautical themed quilt to add some punch to your decor? Here is your chance to hook a keeper. This rag quilt is full of whales, dolphins, seals, penguins and enough fish to start a school.

Anchored by two adorable "project fabrics;" one a cloth book for babies and the directions for making a stuffed mommy whale and her baby, this quilt is bubbling with personality. All my quilts are made with upcycled pieces and remnants from past projects, no bolts of fabric were harmed in the making of this one of a kind gem. Finishing out the fishy theme is some sweet blue calico, some cute beachy cotton and a bit of retro 90's floral.

Sandwiched with Warm and White batting and sewn with an X, this quilt has been snipped and washed to begin the ragging process. The more time this spends getting washed then dried, the happier it will be. The Marina quilt is not too shrimpy but not whale sized either, measuring 50" X 50" it makes a great bed topper or a lap blanket for sitting down and surfing the net. Buy it for the belugas,. Do it for the dolphins. Or just for the halibut!

 

So long Marina, happy sailing!
