The strips and sections can all be sewn together and attached to the other pieces to complete the quilt.

Why not add flowers and other delights to the quilt.

The petal shape makes an excellent icecream cone. Consider using dies for Cup Cakes.

To make Beach Balls:

Cut 2½ strips. Use 45½º Triangle. Cut eight sections. Sew sections into pairs then join to make octagonal shape.

Fuse Bondaweb to the back. Place Sew Easy circle template on front. Cut out. Bond ball to beach and appliqué in place.

Complete the quilt topFrom one of the remaining fabrics cut 1” strips and join together. Use this strip to add a border to sides. As I didn’t have enough material - I only added a border to three sides - it is your choice.

A final border not dissimilar to bunting was added using 45º Triangle.

From remaining materials cut 3” strips.

Cut lots of 45º triangles from these strips.

Join together to make a long line.

Measure ‘bunting’ width - cut two squares this width.

Measure quilt width: Cut one strip this width from the bunting. Attach one square to each end.

Measure quilt length: Cut two strips of bunting this length. Attach to quilt.

Finally sew strip with squares attached to the bot-tom of the quilt. Matching seams on corners. Square off corners with EZ Flip ‘n Set.

Construct quilt backing from remaining F/Q’s.
