Difficulty Level – Intermediate. This is a super simple design! Wiggle across your quilting space with an organic, flowing line. Flow into the line before, travel stitch, then branch off with another calm wave.

Design Family – Edge to Edge. This design flows easily from one edge of your quilting space to the other. Use the edges to travel stitch along so you can easily move around your quilt.

Directional Texture – 2 Directions. What’s nice about this design is the gentle texture of flowing lines. Place this horizontally for the perfect design to stitch for water or waves.

Suggestions for Use – Even a traditionally pieced quilt would look gorgeous when stitched with Calm Sea. Try this design in the sashing area of a blue quilt for an instant water effect.

Let’s go quilt,
