Welcome!!
A little about the design
A few years ago I did a design called 'Night Dive' which used Moda Marbles. I was going to pattern it up, but didn’t, and then heard Moda were thinking of phasing out Marbles. SO - I thought 'Ah well, I'll rework it in Bellas/Grunge/whatever‘….And then promptly forgot all about it, as is my wont.
Returning to the project now, it seems Marbles are still very much around, so patently the powers that be at Moda changed their mind - but I kind of want to rework it anyway as there are elements of the original which have bugged me. So here it is, a little return to the depths of the ocean.
**NB the colours are the ones which don't quite come true on my software. The variation between the aquas in particular is more pronounced so you won't get large swathes of unvariegated aqua across the centre

Technical Stuff
The finished quilt measures around 88" but there's plenty of scope for messing with the borders to adjust the size to suit your needs It is an six instalment programme, starting in March 2022. For a change, the instalments will come out roughly every two weeks. You can jump on and off at will though, so don't hold back if you want to start it. I don't nag people to 'keep up' |
Instalments
I have specified the range of fabrics I have used to design this quilt top in the first instalment, but you don't necessarily have to use them. You can diet your stash!
BUT... please, if you don't want to be disappointed, pay close attention to the depth and tone of the fabrics I have used. A lot of the impact of the design comes from this, and it will help you get a good result if you try to stay on the page as regards your substitutions. |
