I have the beginnings of my January quilt. This sea/sky background was something I pieced together when I first started quilting. I was interested in doing landscape quilts, and found a piece of sea/sky looking fabric, but I wanted to do something different with it, so I cut it into squares and sewed it back together. It was bigger, but I cut it down to the size for the journal quilts. I have been mulling over ideas of what to do with it. Birds...boats...hot air balloons...airplanes...alien spaceships? Something "normal" or something weird? I keep looking at it, but haven't had a big AHA yet. I'm leaning towards seagulls or pelicans. Not sure how I want to make them. Something I haven't done before...

I love this fabric! Are you going to use it throughout? How big are the squares?
Great start! I love the background already and can't wait to see what you decide to add.
Thanks Debra and Pat! The squares are 2 1/2". I just had a small piece of fabric, so this will be the only time I use it for a background. I have some scraps left, so it might show up again, you never know.
Beautiful! Such a peaceful feeling...makes me want to go play in my sky and water bins...

I agree with Debby--I would have trouble cutting this fabric!
It's a great background with lots of possibilties. Can't wait to see which direction you go ...
I have a piece of this fabric in my stash. can't wait to see what you do.
