It isn't all sand and sun...

There's a little actual work going on here at the beach, and a little sewing if it's raining.

During the last deluge, I got "Jack of Diamonds" bound -- finally!  And the beach is the perfect setting to show it off!

I love how the quilting with the higher loft batting turned out on the back. I didn't end up putting anything in the center of the hourglass blocks, but quilted different shapes inside of each one.

I hate to admit it, but I think it's actually my first finished quilt for 2011. I'm waaaay behind schedule!
