Blue for the warm ocean waters,

green for the lush vegetation,

and yellow for the brilliant summer sunshine.

Coordinating backing fabric is the vibrant "Artisan Spirit Falling Leaves - Spring Rain" by Northcott. It complements the colors of the pieced fans on the front perfectly.

After washing - all wrinkly and even prettier.

After washing - soft and scrunchy.

Lots of repeating squiggles being quilted on the long arm.

Green apple thread on the front, and pastel yellow on the back.

Binding is machine sewn, matching backing fabric.

Ready to travel to its new home!
