When one of your bestest friends is getting married you have to make a quilt, and at this point, my friends know it's my go-to for gifting because quilting is my superpower!
I used the wall hanging pattern from "A Quilter's Mixology" by Angela Pingel, and made it 4 times to make a larger sized quilt. I liked the modern feel of the design, and in the teal & peach it felt beachy & calm. Though I did tweak it a little bit to make it a bit more rectangular in size with a little breathing room around the edges.
The little curves in the blocks were fiddly, but not difficult, and I spent weekends and evenings piecing all the different shapes together. Watching each shape come together and planning to quilt different things in them had me thinking of tide pools, which inspired the name for the quilt. I chose quilting designs that were water-like, bubbles/pebbles, ripples, waves and swirls to emphasize the tide pool idea.
The wedding was lovely, and it was so good to be there in person! I had the joy of gifting this in person and see their surprise on opening it. :) 
The background white is stippled with some hidden messages inside: bees, a bumblee tortuga, hearts, and their names, making a fun search & find for them.
I know it'll be well-loved & enjoyed by C&K for years to come - love you guys!
