Mission Beach // Quilt Block #18 // Summer Sampler 2019
Block #18 of the Summer Sampler 2019 Details:
Name: Mission Beach
Designer: Katie Blakesley (me!)
Bootcamp Skill: Hourglass Blocks
This block started out as an aerial sketch of lifeguard towers, and progressed from there. The block includes instructions for two kinds of hourglass units, and its a breather from some of the more complicated blocks in the Sampler!
It was fun to see what a quilt made up of these blocks would look like--I haven't even changed the colors, but I think changing the colors could lead to something really cool!
