I fell head over heels in love with this fabric line, "Oceanica" from In The Beginning. I used it to make this "Storytime" quilt I made for my nephew as a Christmas gift. He is just getting to the age where picture books are holding his interest. I hope he has many reading adventures under this quilt in the coming years.
This fabric gave me chance to practice my free motion quilting skills. I followed the designs using a black thread. I only had a few slips into the light spots. All in all the quilting turned out beautifully. I wasn't able to take very good pictures before the quilt went to it's new home. I finished the binding on Christmas Eve.
This fabric was purchased from Lou Ann's Quilt Garden in Oelwein, Iowa
Hope you are having a wonderful weekend. I am finishing the front porch renovations today. The porch looks great and the wind no longer blows through the living room!

Wonderful quilt!
Nice job! I love this fabric line, too.
Oh, I loved this fabric the first time I saw it, too, only I think I saw the teal/multicolor version. The blue is very "mysterious depths of the ocean" feeling. What a great gift!
Pretty, pretty quilt, Chris.
What a gorgeous quilt for a young boy - your nephew must have been delighted with his present!
Oh! I saw this fabric in a catalog and I've been coveting it since. I'm glad you got some since I didn't (whine).
I love that fabric too; your quilt is absolutely fabulous!
Love this quilt-- I am sure your nephew loved it! I love blues...
