 Eva’s Ocean
You'll be sailin' through this project and end up with beautiful colors flowing on a calm sea. This quilt
combines the traditional block "Ocean Wave" with a Timeless Treasures Tonga Treats color palette of
beautiful batiks - the shop sample is made from the color selection "Pomegranate", although any will work
- the new Fall colors are fabulous. In this class we'll sort our fabrics twice to organize the colors in a way
that is very easy to get fantastic results. With precut fabrics, Timeless Treasures will do much of the
cutting for you - the quilt requires both a Tonga Treats 2 1/2" strip set and a matching Tonga Treats 10" square set. The sample quilt measures 60" x 72" with the borders.

class - starting with choosing coordinating fabric and ending with getting a pattern for the feathered
machine quilting.

this one together.
