I finished the Road to (Secret) quilt last night and gifted it this morning to my supervisor Lena R. Lena loves to go to oceanside Half Moon Bay, CA and explore the tidepools. About two years ago after hearing about a couple of Lena's trips to the tidepools, I decided to make a quilt for her. The design would include Road to California blocks, a print that showed seashells and such, and the title Road to Half Moon Bay, California.
Lena's quilt features a large print that looks like tidepools; I used the print in the border and two good-sized leftover pieces on the back. The quilt has 9 large Road to California blocks and some four-patch blocks in the border.
Lena was surprised to get the quilt, and she seems to really like it. I'll post photos and details about the quilt, now known as Road to Half Moon Bay, California, in the next few days.
Enjoy your quilt, Lena!
Thanks for visiting my blog. I hope you'll enjoy reading about my quilts and travels. I make lots of quilts, many as gifts, some for charity, and a few on commission. I love to travel and I own a car, but I am afraid to drive in heavy traffic. So I often use public transportation to visit big cities. I don't just go on trips--I have adventures!
