Awesome Ocean Sew Along (SAL) with Me!

This pattern is called “Awesome Ocean” and is by Elizabeth Hartman.  I have been wanting to make it for a long time and am biting the bullet.  I figured I would try to make a block every 2 weeks. I am sure some of you have wanted to make this, or need a baby quilt in your stash or need to donate a quilt! A few years ago, I made Fancy Forest – you can see mine here – and I found that I couldn’t resist this one. Ocean themes always speak to me, so here I am launching a sew along.

You can get the pattern from my amazon affiliate link* or from  the designer directly or in your local store.  

Above is the back of the pattern, for some of the the fabric requirements.  I am working with an Island Batik line, Ocean Odyssey (I received in 2018) that I have saved for awhile. It is funny that my first Fancy Forest led to a second as I had plenty leftover, so I added a few more fat quarters and went on my merry way.

The Details:
November 23: First block posted.
Every 2 weeks: New block posts
March 14: Last block posts
April 25: Parade of quilts
Linky parties will happen beginning November 23rd, post pics of blocks

If you want to make a big quilt go ahead. There may be a few surprises – guest hosts (let me know if you are interested) who will blog on the same day I do with their input. There may be prizes….let’s have fun and sew and make a quilt!

    I’ll be picking up my pattern soon. I need to see if one of my LQSs has it; otherwise, I’ll use your affiliate link. I’m going to need to make that otter, though!
