Ursula's Alaskan retreat quilt

Ursula went on an Alaskan cruise with some quilting friends a few years ago.  This was the retreat quilt.  The whale pantograph fit right in with this quilt, too!  For some reason, I don't have a picture of the whole quilt for this one : (

Sandy's chevron quilt

Sandy made this quilt for her bed.  The bright colors, the fabrics that look like fish scales, water bubbles, waves, and the fact that we  live on Long Island, make it perfect.  She chose this whale pantograph to round out the water theme.
