When the quilt is complete you can wash it in cold water as it is made of 100% cotton materials. The designer included patterns like florals, zig zags, diamonds and mesmerizing lines to come up with the Ocean Waves design. The quilt also requires 2 fat quarters and a half yard, all of which come in pretty patterns and colors ranging from light sky blues to deep turquoise, blacks and grays. Each of the 5x5 pinked squares comes in 20 pieces per package. The Melodic Floral Designs are placed strategically throughout the quilt to create an ocean-like pattern. The Ocean Waves Quilt pattern uses beautiful fabrics from Fabric Palette. Quilters, sewers and crafters love the designs Fabric Editions has to offer, including their many lines from Fabric Palette.

Tomorrow: A quick peek at a small project featuring The Wave. If you are working on an Independence Day project…you might like the Swirling Stars free motion quilt pattern–one of my favorites! Now it’s YOUR turn… Practice doodling this free motion quilt pattern until you are comfortable with it on paper– Our complete Ocean Waves quilt pattern gives instructions for making crib, lap, twin and queen-sized quilts. Note how the “tucked” in tails look better–no overlapped stitches. THE KEY to this motif is to avoid overlapping stitches–Overlapping stitches look messy–See below: Messy–overlapped stitches Swirl down to the bottom “rail” and begin the next Wave.įor each additional Wave-tuck the “tail” of the Wave into the previous wave–without touching the curved line…see photo below. Stitch very close, but not right into the previous stitches. Stitch right to the top line and then around to the center of the swirl.

Stop here, then begin echo-stitching back around the curve… Next, echo stitch the first line, ending just above the first stitches. Stitch a long tail sweeping up – above the middle line and curve around TO the middle line. (More on marking tools on Thursday…)īegin stitching near the bottom “rail”. Though the patterns are similar, learning to free motion quilt the two patterns requires separate practice–īegin by drawing three lines or “rails” equidistant apart– In the sample below, the drawn lines are 1/2 inch apart. The Wave is the mirror image twin of The Wind–a free motion quilt tutorial we worked on last year… Today’s free motion quilt tutorial has us swirling and twirling on the high seas…
