The Beach Ball quilt block uses raw edge applique to create a fun and modern look.
This month's colors were inspired by a summer sunset of yellows, oranges, and blues. I chose several solid colors from my stash that fit the theme! Using my Kona color card, the colors look like Buttercup, Primrose, Jade Green, and Aqua.
When stitching the pieces, I used 50wt Aurifil in 2810 Turquoise, 2425 Bright Pink, and 5008 Sugar Paper.
I couldn't resist using EQ8 to mock up a quilt using a more traditional beach ball color palette, and I LOVE it!!
